Universities that run animal-related courses?

Lol, animal management! Is that serious?

Oh. Actually for animal biology there are at least a handful. Stirling do a programme like that. I know of a couple of others who do PhDs (but not, I don't think, undergrad degrees).

There are some around, I'm just not too sure how many will be in London. If any.

Greenwich do a couple, middlesex, NESCOT (Epsom), and a few more in the home counties do a search on ucas :smile:

When I chucked at "animal management" it was the idea of an A-levelm not a degree. I knew there were degrees like this around and have no problem with them.

I know Kent offer a similar degree (not in London itself, I know, but close enough perhaps?). Further affield there's at least Lincoln.

Have a look on the UCAS website on do a course search. That should also give you an idea of entry requirements.

It wasn't directed at you, it's just I don't want people to misunderstand what I meant and to think I was belittling such degrees.

I made quite a passionate defence of equine studies quite recently. People don't realise its value in the rural economy.

Do you know what you want to do with it after? cause if not you maybe should look into it & look at the job prospects of courses such as animal management & zoology & make sure the options are broad enough for you afterwards.

I wouldnt do a level in animal management though! (does that even exist?) seems a bit of a narrow & specific course - for starters in the time it takes for you to get through college you might change your mind about what you want to do anyway, and also taking subjects like psychology / chemistry / biology etc. give you a much better back ground knowlege & variety of skills to take into the course - as well as the option to change your mind completely about what degree course you want to do, & could make for a stronger application onto your uni course

theres animal science degrees, and theres bioveterinary science, although thats more lab worky and less hands on with the animals i think.
Aberystwith do a few animal/equine degrees (i know thats in wales but it could be worth a look just to see what kind of thing was available, as there arent that many animal courses in london due to the lack of animals)
Merrist wood agricultural college in guilford do one i think
and of course theres zoology
