M.Sci Bioveterinary Sciences

Overview

The MSci in Bioveterinary Sciences is an undergraduate integrated master’s degree, the aim of which is to prepare you for a Ph.D. or a career in an academic or industrial research environment, for example within the biotechnology or pharmaceutical industries, and for other biological, biomedicine and veterinary-related careers.

This program focuses on developing your knowledge, analytical skills, and practical skills. Modules are structured across the first three years of the course to build a broad base of knowledge, whilst also allowing the opportunity to specialize through optional module selections and research projects in your second and third year.

The fourth year, which comprises an in depth research project, will build on your knowledge gained from your first three years and develop your scientific and transferable skills further, making you ‘work ready’ and able to realise your full potential as soon as you embark on your chosen career path after graduating from the course.

The course will deliver the underpinning knowledge of animal health and disease, where you will gain a better understanding of current fundamental research questions in biology and applied biomedical and bioveterinary sciences, and 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. The course is particularly suitable for those considering a career in research.
