Interactions between people and animals are increasing as we become more dependent on animals for companionship and food production, and strive to understand the greater pressures being placed on our unique native wildlife. The Western Sydney University program in Animal Science embraces a unique hands on approach to understanding the interactions between animals and their environments, and combines the fields of animal behaviour and anthrozoology to explore and enhance the quality of life of wild, captive and domesticated animals. It is underpinned by on campus access to animal facilities including reptiles, small marsupials, horses, sheep, cattle and deer linked with off campus animal professionals and organisations such as national parks, wildlife parks, zoos, farms and horse studs.
