ACADEMIC YEAR: 2017-2018 NATIONAL COST CENTRE: 109 MODULE LEADER: Michelle Chappell OTHER MODULE STAFF: None SUMMARY of MODULE CONTENT This module is designed to enable students to acquire and practice the vocationally relevant skills and knowledge needed in the animal management industry. It is based around both practical sessions and a work placement, of at least 40 hours duration, where students are encouraged to relate academic study to the types of work that would be expected to be undertaken in industry. The module allows the student to develop their practical husbandry skills with a wide range of animal species. Practical sessions, lectures and site visits to local animal establishments will enable the students to consolidate their practical experiences with appropriate husbandry theories. Use will be made of case study materials and guest speakers where applicable.
