Overview

As a student in Writtle you’ll explore subjects like canine anatomy, physiology and biomechanics, with a special emphasis on canine massage and hydrotherapy.

The Canine Therapy (Hons) degree at Anglia Ruskin University combines vocational and academic studies to equip you for a career in canine therapy. You’ll work towards a recognised Level 3 Hydrotherapy qualification as you take part in commercially run sessions with real cases.

This qualification enables direct registration with the Canine Hydrotherapy Association and National Association of Registered Canine Hydrotherapists.

Careers

The BSc (Hons) Canine Therapy is a 'two in one' qualification as it includes a vocational award. This means that as a graduate, you'll be ready to work as a therapist – either independently or as part of a clinical team.

As the course has a focus on hydrotherapy and massage, you may choose to work in these popular areas.

You may find yourself helping with post-surgery recovery, managing chronic conditions, increasing the range of motion and balance in senior patients, enhancing the performance of competing athletes, helping with a weight control programme or improving the general wellbeing of family pets.

Alternatively you could consider research assistant posts, lecturing and health advisory roles.
