Gain practical knowledge and skills through a mix of theory and hands-on experience. With studies covering farm, companion and captive animals, you can learn about the area of bioveterinary science that fascinates you most.
Based on our Whiteknights campus and with visits to our working farms and animal-related organisations in the local area, your degree will be built on a foundation of core modules that ensure that you'll meet the industry's expectations for highly qualified 糖心视频 graduates.
You will cover the branches of biology relevant to understanding how animals function in both health and disease, including physiology, cell biology, biochemistry, nutrition and metabolism. You'll also cover applied sciences such as animal health, behaviour and welfare, and will have opportunities to learn about other branches of biology such as ecosystems and the agricultural sciences, so you'll understand how animals interact with the world we live in.
You will also have the opportunity to take modules from our zoology and biology departments if you're interested in ecology, wildlife, conservation or biomedical-based sciences. You can also opt to take more agriculture-focused modules.
You will get a broad view of the bioveterinary science industry. Many of our lectures involve hands-on project work on our farms, so you'll get an insight into cutting-edge animal production and animal science research, and you'll be trained to use certain laboratory facilities.
Our academics and researchers influence government policy, new innovation and product development.
We're a significant contributor to the University-wide centres for food security, climate change, and cardiovascular and metabolic research.
We also work with other institutions, many of them overseas.
Because our staff are actively engaged in world-class research, they tailor their teaching to reflect changing trends and emerging technologies within the sector. And when transferred to a teaching environment, our research excellence enables students to develop similarly excellent research skills that are highly regarded by employers.
