UndergraduateCourse summary
At Nottingham we take an applied approach. You'll study the production and management of commercial livestock within animal-based agricultural systems. You'll use the 450 hectare University Farm and visit local livestock farms. Teaching is based at Sutton Bonington Campus which has an international reputation for animal science research. You'll gain practical animal handling experience and use our Farm Demonstration Centre. The Centre for Dairy Science Innovation is also on-campus. These facilities offer the latest research technologies. You'll develop your scientific knowledge and use our labs and fields to apply this in practice. On this course you will:
- Manage a student sheep flock
- Get industry expertise from guest lectures and visits to commercial organisations
- Understand the nutrition, growth and welfare of farmed animals
- Industry placement - you can add a year in industry between years two and three
- Study abroad - options include Australia, Canada, or Europe
Modules
In your first year you'll study sustainable systems used by commercial UK farms. By visiting the University Farm and other local farms you will see what you've learnt in practice. You'll learn about safe animal handling, and animal biological systems. You'll find out about the latest developments around the world. Core second year modules cover applied animal science, animal health and disease, and agri-marketing. You also take our Enterprise Management Challenge. Working in teams to manage your own sheep flock, you make all the agricultural science and business decisions. You'll observe the impact of your decisions as these are implemented on the farm. In your final year, you'll study livestock production systems, analysing performance and providing solutions. Your final year research project gives you chance to work at one of the country's top agricultural research centres. Our academic staff are known for applied animal science research in fertility, nutrition, reproduction and product quality.
