Imagine a mix of biology, zoology, veterinary science, agriculture, some business, sustainability and more – this is Animal Science at Newcastle University.


Our Animal Science students learn alongside biologists and agriculture students. You will focus on farm and companion animals, although you can also study laboratory, zoo and wild animals. You will apply the scientific principles of biology, health, nutrition, physiology and behaviour to enhance animal welfare, management, productivity, and importantly, sustainability.


Our course draws on the latest scientific discoveries where you'll study the lifecycle of an animal from:


  • microbiology to supply chains
  • animal behaviour and interaction with habitats
  • animal reproduction and genetics
  • local legislation to global issues

Our excellent facilities include state-of-the-art laboratories and our two commercially-run farms which are home to a range of farm animals. You also have access to companion animal resources such as Dog Box, the UK’s first mobile dog behaviour research pod.


An exciting part of your degree is the final year original research project on a subject of your choice. You can use this to explore the latest technologies. You can research your project in our laboratories, on our farms, or at one of the many local animal centres that we work with. You are supervised by staff in our Animal Science research group. They are an internationally recognised centre of excellence in integrative animal science that is applied to areas of societal, industrial and policy importance.


As the degree progresses, you can tailor it to your animal interests to align with your future career.
