Program Overview
Studying a double major in the Bachelor of Applied Science means that you get a greater range of course options, in both animal management and welfare, and biodiversity management.
Animal Management and Welfare
Animal management and welfare is a rapidly growing field of study and work. This unique programme will prepare you with the applied knowledge and skills you need to be successful in a wide range of emerging animal management and welfare careers.
This programme addresses the demand for ethical professionals in industries and organisations associated with the management and care of animals. You’ll develop an understanding of animal behaviour modification, health and welfare, handling and husbandry, conservation, and human/animal interactions.
Biodiversity Management
You’ll explore how ecosystems function and support biological diversity, and how managers of biodiversity (including government agencies, non-statutory organisations, and voluntary bodies) are responding to increasing concern over the impact of human activities on the world.
Find out how society views and influences the natural environment, discover how social, cultural, and policy frameworks influence management decisions and develop your knowledge and skills related to plant identification.

6 Where an ?konga n? t?w?hi is required to put their study on hold after completing one semester or more, the grant continues to be valid for the further study paid for unless a refund or permanent withdrawal is actioned.
Eligibility
Applicants for the grant must:
1. Be an ?konga n? t?w?hi (as defined by section 10(1) of the Education and Training Act 2020);
2. Be a new ?konga n? t?w?hi at Te P?kenga (i.e., not re-enrolling at Te P?kenga) applying for full-time study in semesters 1 and 2 2024 (existing students are covered by fees grandparenting arrangements);

5. Be accepted into the programme on a full-time basis (and continue to be enrolled as a full-time ?konga n? t?w?hi throughout the 2024 academic year (please note, eligibility will be excluded if reduced to part-time study) and;
6. Be enrolling in semesters 1 and 2 of 2024, if a student defers to 2025 for any reason, the study grant is withdrawn.
?konga n? t?w?hi are not eligible and cannot receive the grant if:
1. 1 they are in recipient of another grant, scholarship, award, or other concessions from Te P?kenga or external bodies;
2. they are likely to be applying for Recognition of Prior Learning or Cross Crediting to reduce the number of credits that are needed for the given qualification;
3. have permanently moved to studying part-time (including commencing full-time study and then reducing this to part-time). In such a situation, the ?konga n? t?w?hi waives their right to the grant and will be liable for the payment of remaining fees for the semesters enrolled as part-time. Any withdrawal will be subject to individual Te P?kenga business divisions’ admission, enrolment, fees, and refund policies and procedures.
4. they are studying on a pathway offer where the qualification listed in Table 1 is commenced in 2024 or later.
Application process

2. Te P?kenga reserves the right to request from any applicant any additional information that it may consider necessary for determining eligibility for the grant.
3. Te P?kenga business divisions have complete discretion in assessing the application of the grant.
4. The Te P?kenga decision is final and binding, and no further correspondence will be entered into once a decision has been made

3 The grant is not transferrable or exchangeable and cannot be taken as cash.
