Chester University are proposing that we not got to Reaseheath College next year due to feedback from past years that have used them. This is against the will of current students in year one who still wish to be taught at Reaseheath and Chester as a collaborative for year 2. This is because we wish to still benefit from the zoo facility that the college has as well as their level of tutoring which they provide, Furthermore, the modules will be changed if the day at Reaseheath is cancelled and we were not notified of the course supposedly changing during our time upon the course. Finally, we believe that the loss of teaching at Reaseheath would detriment our learning and give us a disadvantage compared to students upon other animal management courses as they will have more practical time and we chose the course at Chester, mainly due to the high standard associated with the University, delivered at Reaseheath, within the practical time on Reaseheath Zoo and therefore do not wish for it to be taken away.


We propose that if the time at Reaseheath was arranged as the current Year 1 timetabled day is at Chester then we still wouldn't encounter as much traffic when getting the buses in between, we would still get time with Reaseheath Zoo as well as still being able to fit in the timetabling and not having to change any modules.

The administration at Chester University clearly underestimated how many of us refuse to accept this gutting of our degree. Their attempt to quietly strip away our practical training has backfired and the momentum we have built shows they cannot ignore us any longer.

The practical work at the zoo is the only reason this degree is actually worth doing!! DONT TAKE IT AWAY FROM US.

why take students out of a course they have already spent a year learning. if you want to remove the course then don't allow anymore students to sign up for it and allow the current students to stay

i find it very inconsiderate that we were not consulted about this decision, nothing was mentioned about it when we enrolled and one of the reasons I chose this course was due to the collaborated teaching at Chester and reaseheath.

We're doing an animal course, experience makes the course here better than the rest!
