The programme investigates the use of animals within society, the need to protect and enhance the habitats and populations of animal species as well as the importance of enhancing animal health and welfare, through the use of evidence-driven practice provided by the work of a broad range of animal physical therapists, trainers and carers.

The course facilitates practical experience, of working with a range of domestic, farm, exotic and wildlife species, within industry environments.

The course is based around four main themes:

1. Animal husbandry; health, disease, nutrition, behaviour, breeding, habitat and the enhancement of welfare.
2. Animal training; learning theories and training programmes designed for health reasons, scent detection, support therapy and entertainment.
3. Animal preservation; disease prevention and control, rescue and rehabilitation, and breeding for the conservation of species.
4. Animal physical therapies; principles and methodologies, health and well-being benefits and the use of evidence-based treatment.
