With a focus on research methodology and critical analysis, the MSci Applied Bioveterinary Research course aims to prepare you for a Ph.D. or a career in research, where you will strive to explore the development of new therapies for both human and veterinary diseases.

The program draws on our long history of cutting-edge research programs which have contributed to advances in human as well as veterinary medicine and explores the fundamentals of biological and biomedical science that are needed to understand and develop new therapies for both human and veterinary diseases. The course will give you a clear and detailed understanding of underpinning physiology and cellular and molecular biology, as well as an insight into disease mechanisms and an appreciation of comparative and integrated approaches to aid diagnosis and treatment in the future.
