program description

in their first year, students will study topics that are fundamental to veterinary biosciences, including biochemistry, cell biology, evolutionary origins of biodiversity, genetics, microbiology, and veterinary anatomy and physiology, ensuring they have a solid foundation upon which to build the rest of their degree.

during their second year, students will get the option to learn about the pathogenesis of major human diseases, gain an understanding of endocrinology, including the role of individual hormones, delve deeper into animal evolution and comparative biology, and study animal and plant ecology.

in their third year, students will study animal infectious diseases, exploring the approaches to controlling these and the impact these have on human health and safety, in addition to veterinary immunology, unpicking the anatomy of various animal species and exploring their immune responses. students will also select four modules, exploring topics such as animal behaviour, animal diversity, epidemiology of infectious diseases and food security.

students will also complete a research project, bringing together all the practical, analytical, and presentation skills they've developed.
