PS14. Work Based/ Related Learning WBL is an essential element of Foundation Degrees and therefore needs to be detailed here. However, for all types of HE Programmes there should be an element of employability focus through, at least, Work Related Learning, and therefore the following is applicable for all: FdSc Animal Behaviour & Psychology Levels 4 & 5 Plan, design and execute practical activities using appropriate techniques and procedures Undertake field/coursework with due regard for safety and risk assessment Throughout the programme Levels 4, and 5 Apply graduate attributes and skills; apply career management skills: apply lifelong learning skills: business and organisational awareness demonstrate an international outlook Key knowledge and understanding is assessed via a combination of : Essays/projects/dissertations Examinations/tests Coursework/group work on practical application questions Reflective assignments ALL Core Modules Work Based Learning is embedded throughout level 4, and 5 of this programme.

The student will gain an introduction to existing and developing behavioural management and therapy tools from classical conditioning, to veterinary-based therapy, to approaches for pet owners, zoos and farmers. ASSESSED LEARNING OUTCOMES: (additional guidance below) At the end of the module the learner will be expected to be able to: Describe a range of animal behaviour management tools and techniques applicable to named circumstances. Understand how animal therapy can improve animal welfare and human wellbeing. Critically appraise a variety of training techniques. Apply the principles of Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA).
