Study bioveterinary science in specialist laboratories and with a range of animals on campus. Develop your expertise in disease diagnosis, microbiology, physical therapies and rehabilitation. You’ll apply theory to practice in our labs and gain professional experience on site. Animal health and disease modules will enable you to examine the cause, transmission, diagnosis and treatment of different diseases in farm animals, horses and companion species. As part of microbiology modules, you’ll conduct research into microorganisms in our labs, examining the process of microbial infection. Animal therapy modules will introduce you to hydrotherapy and physical therapies, as you work with horses and dogs in our equine and canine therapy centres. Industry opportunities Students have recently undertaken voluntary roles in our commercial equine and canine therapy centres, on our commercial farm and in our science laboratories. You’ll benefit from guest lecturers, with recent speakers including vets from the Three Counties Equine Hospital.

This course is ideal for those who have a strong interest in animal biology, and want to understand more about the science of diagnosing and treating animal disease.
