BSc (Hons) Bioveterinary Science

Develop your specialist scientific knowledge with this Bioveterinary degree. Prepare for a veterinary medicine degree or an exciting career within animal science.

This degree is for you if you want to pursue a range of scientific areas that focus on the processes underpinning disease. You’ll develop your expertise in disease diagnosis, microbiology, physical therapies, and rehabilitation.

Study bioveterinary science in professional-standard laboratories and work with a range of animals in our 70-species Animal Collection, commercial farm, and large equine center to develop your experience working with animals.

Apply theory to practice as you get hands-on in our dissection and microbiology laboratories, learning more about a range of species. Investigate notifiable and zoonotic diseases, and study farm animals, and equine and companion species.

You’ll have the opportunity to complete biochemistry and genetics modules, as well as livestock production with practical sessions on our campus farm. You could experience rehabilitation first-hand in our commercial equine and canine therapy centers with our animal therapy modules, and evaluate cutting-edge hydrotherapy research.
