Specialist Species
With our zoo license, we house unique species like meerkats and lemurs.
Oaklands College offers a variety of land-based courses supported by excellent facilities. Our St Albans Campus, located in a scenic semi-rural setting, is home to our land-based industries.
With extensive grounds, the campus includes a working farm with livestock, a fully operational equine livery, and a habitat centre—our animal care unit that houses a diverse range of species and exotic animals.
If you're passionate about working with animals, we provide courses for all skill levels, designed to prepare you for both employment and university.
