What our graduates say
“I entered higher education from a vocational route via the BTEC National Diploma in Animal Management. I found out about this course on the Nottingham Trent University website and UCAS.

“The course at Brackenhurst has been very satisfying. It has encouraged me to be independent in all aspects of life. I felt it was very important to attend an Open Day as it gave me the opportunity to find out about the friendly atmosphere, stunning location and supportive teaching staff.

“The academic staff are extremely approachable. They give guidance and are very supportive. The staff who teach on the course are active researchers and this has led me to become extremely interested in field work and research.

“I think this course is perfect for someone who is genuinely passionate about wildlife and conservation and wishes to have a career that involves aiding conservation. My career aspirations are to work as a research assistant at the National History Unit and gain experience by doing voluntary work with organisations involved in conservation.”
