1st year Degree MACWC (Management of Animal Collections with Conservation) students recently took a trip to Scotland to take part in some Conservation Projects and Zoo Management talks as part of their course. All the students enjoyed snorkelling with seals and sharks; whilst being involved in basking shark surveying and behaviour observations. The trip also involved a visit to Edinburgh Zoo and the Highland Wildlife Park and a Rare Breeds Society Farm, where the students learnt about the conservation efforts taking place. A fun trip for all, especially with the variety of Scottish weather and the first time camping for many students! Interested in studying with University Askham Bryan? we are open for Clearing for a September 2019 start date.
