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 and human 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.
