The purpose of the Animal Husbandry EMS is to develop students' communication skills, professionalism, and abilities in animal handling and husbandry of common domestic species, including companion animals and production animals, in authentic working environments under the guidance of farm/establishment managers. The EMS requires 10 weeks of satisfactory performance, which can be fulfilled through placements at operating farms, stables and animal shelters. Students have the flexibility to choose their placements in Hong Kong or overseas, and their individual intended learning outcomes (ILOs) for each placement. At least 3 weeks must take place in each of the following core animals' settings: companion animals, production animals and equine. The remaining 7 weeks are called elective placements, since students can pursue any preferred areas/ species that would interest them the most. To complement their studies, students are encouraged to complete placements which offer them a broad range of experience across different animal species and/or establishments.
