I spent a brilliant three years at Sparsholt doing my BSc in Animal Management. The lecturers are second to none. They help you every step of the way and you don't feel judged at all when asking for help. The campus offers amazing views and acres of walks. The facilities are great. It has opened a lot of doors for my future career. I am definitely going to miss living on campus!

Its a pathetic waste of time. Especially the Animal Care course. The lecturers I feel don't actually care for the student by not showing support and help when the student asked for it. They do not mention about taking a leave of sorts for when the student is under extreme stress to which again, the lecturers clearly don't care. Level 3 certificate is yet again level 2 diploma which is repetitive and boring. I'm so glad I'll be moving to game and wildlife management after this year, that way I can ACTUALLY GET SUPPORT when I need it and to actually be listened to. The lecturers I also feel clearly don't listen to the students and precedes to give a horrible attitude towards the students. I really don't recommend the Animal Care course in any level to be very honest.
