From rabbits and rodents to exotic reptiles and birds, our centre offers a wide range of species, allowing you to observe, experience and develop a deep understanding of animal handling and behaviour, care, feeding and welfare. This will not only enhance your academic journey but also nurture your compassion, empathy, and dedication towards the welfare of animals.Working with animals is incredibly rewarding but be warned! It can often require long hours so you will need a large dollop of dedication and enthusiasm to be successful.
