Animal Science / Management Degrees

[sazemoo]

Hi, I'm 27, considering ditching the rat race that is an office job in London and heading down to South-West England to do a degree in animal management or animal science etc.

I just wondered if anyone knew which universities are considered best for this sort of thing. I'm finding it hard as I will have to work when i'm not at college.

So far I'm looking at Bridgwater College as their fulltime course is squeezed to two days a week so i could work the other 5, but still do the course in 3 years. It's also closest to where I'd like to relocate. However, it seems less science based than I'd like.

The course I most like the look of is the animal science and management degree at Lackham, Wiltshire College.

Sparsholt is also an option, though maybe a bit too far away for my liking.

Any advice on these colleges, or any others, that work well for South-West England or near, much appreciated.

I'd like to start planning so that i can start the course next year! (Dang that I missed it this time, but I do have to make some quite large changes, so that's no bad thing!).

Thanks!

PS. Hello, new to the forums!

Both Lackham and Sparsholt are long established Colleges that used to specialize in Agriculture. They probably have farms as part of their resources. I don't know anything about Bridgewater.

Not sure if it will have what you are looking for but there is Kingston Maurward College | Dorchester | Dorset | UK near to where I live.

I know people who have been to Lackham and Sparsholt both colleges with good reputations and they have gone on to start up their own businesses in agriculture/forestry.

There is also:

::::: Bicton College ::::: Welcome
Duchy College : Home

but I have no idea how good/bad they are!

Hope this helps. Welcome to WAB...

Bicton certainly used to be excellent, I taught there!
