Welcome to the Animal Management family! 🐾

Our new students have had an action-packed induction week, getting enrolled, finding their way around campus, visiting the animals in our on-site Zoo Askham Bryan Wildlife & Conservation Park meeting classmates, and taking part in a range of team-building activities. They've also had the chance to learn all about their courses and the exciting opportunities that lie ahead this year.

To finish the week on a high, we headed to Yorkshire Wildlife Park for a fantastic day out, exploring the collection and celebrating a great start to college life! 🦁🐯🐻

We can't wait to see what this year brings. Here's to new friendships, new experiences, and a successful year ahead!

🎉 Huge congratulations to our incredible Zoo Keeper, Luke, on being named Runner-Up in the BIAZA Research Award! 👏🦁

This fantastic achievement is a testament to Luke's passion, dedication, and commitment to advancing animal care through research.

At Askham Bryan Wildlife & Conservation Park we believe that only through research can we continually strive to improve animal welfare, develop best practice, and ensure the highest standards of care for the animals we work with. Research also plays a vital role in the education of our students, ensuring they receive the most up-to-date, evidence-based, and industry-leading knowledge and practical skills. By embedding research into everything we do, we're helping to prepare the next generation of animal professionals, giving them the confidence and expertise to take their first steps into the industry.

We're incredibly proud of Luke for this well-deserved recognition and for the positive impact his work is having on both animal welfare and the future of the zoo and wildlife profession.

Please join us in congratulating Luke on this amazing achievement! 💚🎉

🌞 Animal Management Applicant Day Update 🌞

We are looking forward to welcoming everyone to our Animal Management Applicant Day at Askham Bryan College.

Due to the hot weather forecast, the event will still be going ahead as planned, but we will be making some adjustments to session times, locations, and activities throughout the day to help keep everyone safe and comfortable.

Please remember to:
☀️ Wear sensible clothing suitable for the weather and for spending time out in the Wildlife Park.
💧 Bring a refillable water bottle – water refill stations will be available throughout the day.
🧴 Apply sun protection before you arrive and bring it with you, as you will be spending time working and learning outdoors.

📹 The BBC will be filming in the Wildlife Park during the morning. If you would prefer not to potentially appear in the background of any footage, please let a member of staff know when you arrive.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We can't wait to meet you all and share what Animal Management at Askham Bryan College has to offer!
