About this course
You will develop a strong understanding of the science behind improving the health and welfare of animals - focusing on animal biology and physiology to understand animal health and diseases.
You will cover nutrition, biotechnology, microbiology, disease science, and disease control. You'll also learn about the global animal health industry, how animal diseases spread, and risks to other animals and humans.
Knowledge will be shared in the classroom and you will do practicals in our laboratories, farm, and Companion Animal House.
Furthermore, you will gain work experience needed for entry to veterinary medicine programmes. Settings for this might include clinical practice or research facilities such as the Harper Adams Future Farm.
This will enable you to plan to meet the entry requirements of your preferred Veterinary Medicine course, should this be your next step. Or it will increase awareness of other career options. You will reflect on this experience, developing your personal, professional and research skills and undertaking a review project.
