The purpose of this three-year honours degree programme is to provide the student with a wide subject knowledge related to biological and veterinary animal sciences, with practical and transferable skills for careers allied to veterinary science, laboratory, scientific research, farming, animal health and welfare, veterinary physiotherapy, nutrition and the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. This programme can also be used as a means for application to study Veterinary Science at UK Veterinary Schools, and for application for postgraduate study in a wide range of subjects.
A mixture of core and optional modules will be offered throughout the programme. The core modules will provide the student with the underpinning knowledge and practical skills that will enable them to enter the industries allied to veterinary science. A choice of optional modules will provide the student with the opportunity to specialise in their chosen route. Practical and industry-based visits will underpin the students academic knowledge, whilst giving them the opportunity to practice and develop practical skills required in the industry. Students will also develop their investigative skills for research, thus enabling the student to specialise in areas of particular interest to them. Students will be taught by qualified veterinary staff and animal scientists who have had experience in the veterinary/laboratory industry and who undertake research in this field of study. Students will have the opportunity to study a wide variety of species, including companion animals, non-traditional companion animals, equine and farm animals. Students will have access to a wide variety of facilities including a clinical skills lab, laboratory, equine therapy centre, equine yard and animal unit
The aim of the programme is to provide the student with a balance of applied and academic study. Academic knowledge and understanding reinforces and supports the development of skills that can be applied to working in this sector, therefore equipping the learner with the ability and knowledge relevant for future employment and to the needs of employers. The student will obtain an awareness of current issues within the animal/veterinary industry and develop an ability to evaluate and analyse the information provided and apply this to help improve the health and welfare of animals.

We set our course fees annually. As students pay a fee for each year of their course, the fees set for future academic years may be higher than those set in the 2024 / 2025 academic year.
For each future academic year of your course of study, your fees may be subject to review and increase on a basis in line with the Retail Prices Index (RPI) plus 3%. RPI is a measure of inflation published monthly by the Office for National Statistics which measures the changes from month to month in the cost of a representative sample of retail goods and services bought by consumers within the UK. This means that your course fees will not be increased each year by more than RPI + 3% from the previous year's fees and will not ever exceed the maximum amount that the government allows higher education institutions to charge students in the related academic year.
Information about course fees and student finance can be found below.
