Harry Appleby
BSc (Hons) Animal Science
"Alongside graduating with a 1st class degree, I was also awarded 'The Universities Federation of Animal Welfare Award 2016' for a research project making the greatest contribution to animal welfare science.
The research I completed was one of the first trials in the world to successfully develop a method which allowed chicken embryos to be sexed before they hatched. This research may provide an alternative to the slaughter of 4.2 billion male day old chicks around the world each year. After graduating I went on to achieve a life long goal of gaining accredited status as an Animal Welfare Officer (AWO)."
Emma-Jane Murray
BSc (Hons) Animal Science
Former Student Union President
"Studying BSc (Hons) Animal Science at Writtle University College has set me up successfully for a career in the veterinary field ahead of other similar institutions. The teaching staff are incredibly interactive with students and throughout my entire time at Writtle, I was made to feel like a member of a family.
I've made lifelong friends, I've had fun and I was challenged. I am forever grateful for Writtle's academic and support staff for encouraging me to work hard and reap the rewards."
Matthew Long
BSc (Hons) Animal Management
"What I enjoyed most about the Animal Science degree at WUC was the diversity and range of modules that you learn and the approachability of the staff members. Writtle has prepared me well for the future and provided me with an unforgettable experience."
