Profile
Our biological science degree in Veterinary Bioscience has a major focus on animal health, disease and diagnostics. The veterinary biosciences discipline is experiencing significant growth, both nationally and internationally, due to increased demand for diagnostics to underpin animal health and disease management.
The research-led curriculum will provide you with an excellent understanding of the key elements of biology, health and disease in both production animals (cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry) and companion animals (dogs, cats and horses), and the tools to provide diagnostics strategies for the prevention, recognition and control of animal diseases.
Government departments and private laboratories require veterinary scientists to develop and operate laboratory diagnostics. Biopharmaceutical companies require such graduates to research and develop new biologicals to prevent and treat disease. The food industry requires veterinary scientists to safeguard the safety of food and the welfare of animals. Farmers, feed production operators and reproductive specialists require our graduates for herd health programmes, nutrition experts and reproductive analysis, respectively. Additionally, the advancement of entrepreneurial skills within the programme teaches the knowledge and creativity for business development.
