BSc BIOVETERINARY SCIENCES
The BSc Bioveterinary Sciences is a unique
blend of the biological sciences relating to
animals, the way they work, their health, their
diseases and their relationships with humans.
COURSE OVERVIEW
This course aims to equip you with the latest skills for a range
of careers in bioveterinary science, as well as in STEM and
non-STEM industries. You will be taught by bioscientists with
extensive experience of animal disease and bioveterinary
research. The course uses comparative and integrated
approaches to provide understanding of fundamental
physiology and disease mechanisms, in order to improve
veterinary and human health in the future.
You will require ambition and a desire to improve animal health
and welfare to succeed. We demand high levels of motivation
and, in return, promise a rich and rewarding experience during
your time with us.
