We’re a nation of animal lovers. 13 million of our UK households have pets*, so it’s no surprise that the global pet care industry is set to swell to £157 billion by 2025.** Furthermore, the global animal health market is worth nearly £25 billion and growing rapidly. † You’re joining the animal industry at a very exciting time. The ever-expanding career opportunities promise a fulfilling future.

We’re fast establishing ourselves as a globally-recognised centre for animal science, behaviour and welfare. As new science and technologies help us to understand animals like never before, we’re able to explore ground-breaking new methods that place priority on the physical, psychological and emotional needs of an animal to maximise wellbeing and performance. Everything we teach our students is underpinned by the latest animal research – both our own and that of our industry partners. We’re creating an evidence base of best practice that’s changing the way we interact with our animals. As a Hartpury animal student, you'll work with research- active lecturers to help solve real-world issues. Our students co-author papers and present at national and international conferences. Our animal facilities are outstanding. There aren’t many other places that you’ll have access to over 70 domestic and non-domestic species on campus. Alongside that, our commercial animal businesses – canine and equine therapy centres, and livestock farm – will provide plenty of opportunities for you to develop your practical, business and communication skills and put you at the forefront of practice. Our partnerships within canine performance and rehabilitation – from Agility Team GB and UK Agility, to canicross and international dog sled racing professionals – provide exciting opportunities for our students to develop experience and contacts for the future. Our access to industry expertise is unrivalled. We host trainers, coaches, behaviourists, veterinary professionals and more on campus, as part of our day-to-day operations.
