Course summary
Develop your specialist scientific knowledge with this Bioveterinary degree. Prepare for an exciting career in the veterinary industry or animal science. You’ll join the final year of the BSc (Hons) Bioveterinary Science course, building on your previous knowledge. Top-up courses are equivalent to the final year of an undergraduate degree and allow you to 'top up' an existing qualification into a full honours degree. You’ll benefit from access to diverse facilities, including professional-standard laboratories, a 70-species animal collection with domestic and non-domestic species, 380-hectares of commercial farmland across five sites, and a large equine centre. Expand your knowledge and understanding on a range of animal health topics supporting individual interests and career aspirations. Irrespective of subjects chosen, graduates have developed skills in critical enquiry and evaluation of current process and practices in Bioveterinary Science. You'll acquire current subject knowledge that can be applied to solve challenges within industry, and be exposed to a range of veterinary diagnostic practices and be confident to assist with animal health assessments.
Modules
Our modules are developed regularly to reflect student and industry demands, ensuring you’re well prepared to enter skilled employment on graduation. The majority of courses are comprised of both compulsory and optional modules, the latter of which you'll be able to choose from to suit your interests and career goals. Modules include: Investigative skills for the Successful Undergraduate, Applied research project, Immunology and Animal Disease, Pharmacology, Epidemiology, Advanced Animal Microbiology, and Current issues in Livestock Science. Modules are sometimes subject to change. Optional modules change each year - you can attend introductory sessions before deciding which ones to study.
