Meet Rory McGuire, SMB College Group BSc Animal Management graduate! We recently caught up with Rory about his time studying with us and his career journey since graduation.

Rory said ‘The reason I chose to study at SMB’s Brooksby Campus is because of the smaller class sizes, meaning we got more personalised teaching in our lectures. I really enjoyed the course, especially when we worked in small groups on a variety of projects – allowing me to get a good understanding of all areas of the industry including the behaviours, health and biology of a wide range of animals.

‘Since graduating, I have worked in retail to save money and I am now working out in the South African bush on a wildlife reserve. I will also be working at the same wildlife reserve for 6 months next year and then I’m hoping to progress into a career in Ecology and Conservation from there.

‘My advice to students looking to work in Animal Management is that it’s important to try a variety of fields that you’re interested in so that you can find out what suits you best and would be a good career option for you for the future.’
