About the course

Our courses blend theoretical knowledge with hands-on learning. You will be taught by academics who are at the forefront of research in their fields. You will gain practical animal handling experience including guinea pigs, sheep, hens and cows, with practical sessions and field trips.

　　You can choose from four options:

　　Bioveterinary Science – examine the science behind animal health and disease

　　Physiology and Biotechnology – study animal structure and function, including stem cell and developmental biology

　　Livestock Production – investigate the science of farm animal nutrition, productivity and fertility

　　Ecology and Conservation – focus on the science, management and welfare of zoo and captive animals

　　You do not have to decide which option to focus on until the end of your first year. Whichever option you choose, you can study modules from other options, and other areas of biosciences, including microbiology, nutrition and agriculture.

　　You will study at Sutton Bonington Campus, home to the University Farm and Dairy Centre. The farm is commercially run, with facilities for research and teaching. Farm staff contribute to teaching.

　　You can enhance your employability with an extra year abroad, on an industrial placement, or studying computer science. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
