Trefnydd: Dr Rhea Burton-Roberts

The aim of this module is to provide Zoology with Animal Management students with the opportunity to acquire animal husbandry experience within the industry, thus enhancing their prospects of graduate-level employment. Students are responsible for finding their own placements, although a number of local placement provisions exist, including opportunities at our own animal facilities and at Henfaes Research Centre. No two student experiences will be the same, and the range of activities and possibly placement format will differ. However, the placement will link theory and practice, dovetailing the student’s academic studies with practical hands on animal management experience. Placement providers will be asked to assess the performance of students while they are on placement, reporting back to the module conveners. Students will produce a reflective portfolio evaluating the work of the organization and that of themselves. This module contributes towards the continuous professional development encouraged by the Bangor Employability Award (BEA) with points awarded for workshop attendance (pre and post placement).

Students complete a placement (15-20 days) in the summer between their second and third years. The placement must be approved by the module organisers and the University before work begins. Progress will be monitored during the placement via email. Students will attend post-placement meetings, individual tutorials and reflective workshops upon their return to Bangor in the first semester. Thus contributing to the development and submission of a placement portfolio.
