Where will your Animal Welfare degree take you?

When you picture your future, what do you see?

Tracking wildlife as a field ecologist? Inspiring visitors as an education officer in a zoo? Managing animal collections as a curator? Improving animal welfare through behavioural research? Teaching the next generation as a lecturer? Protecting endangered species as a conservationist? Working in the veterinary sector? Pursuing postgraduate research? Or even running your own successful animal-based business?

These are just some of the exciting career paths our Higher Education alumni have gone on to pursue.

At Moulton College, we believe your degree should be more than a qualification. It should be the foundation for a rewarding career, built through experience, teaching and opportunities that prepare you for the real world.
