B.Sc Biological or Bioveterinary Sciences with a Certificate in Work-Based Learning and Research

Overview

Our Biological Sciences and Bioveterinary Sciences courses explore the basic biological sciences that inform current biomedical research and clinical practice.

In addition to the three-year BSc Biological Sciences or BSc Bioveterinary Sciences course, you will undertake a placement year, usually in your third year, to develop workplace skills and industry expertise.

You will spend a placement year working in the industry, the charity sector, a government department or research institute. As well as learning on the job, you will be able to develop your employability and research skills, gain an invaluable understanding of the work place and the biosciences sector, and form new contacts – all of which will help you secure your chosen job after graduation.

You will be exposed to cutting-edge fields of research in comparative physiology and medicine, livestock production and health, and animal welfare science and ethics. You will also carry out investigative research projects in the second and fourth years of the course.
