On top of that, they developed practical solutions to everyday environmental problems, such as creating safe spaces to help bees and ladybirds thrive, showing that even small changes can make a big difference.

Tristen Greenwood, a Course Leader for the Animal Care and Management T Level, said: “These hands-on projects don’t just teach students about the environment – they also help build important skills in communication, research, and problem-solving. These skills are essential for careers in conservation, animal care, farming, and environmental work.

“By connecting their studies to real-world challenges, our students gain the knowledge and experience they need to make a positive difference in the world. Our T Level courses focus on sustainability, while Animal Management covers ecology and conservation, making this a fantastic practical way to learn and understand these vital issues.”
