In this Animal Science BSc Honours degree, you'll focus on understanding animal behaviour, nutrition and physiology, while developing the practical skills you need for a wide range of careers.


We place a particular emphasis on the scientific study of livestock and companion animals (including horses). You'll study subjects that reflect the whole life of an animal:

  • microbiology and biochemistry
  • animal health and behaviour
  • animal reproduction and nutrition
We bring your learning to life through extensive interaction with animals throughout your degree. You'll gain practical experience through regular visits to local animal centres and the University's two farms. You'll also enjoy input from professionals in the animal science industry.


Your third year group project to organise a conference on animal science equips you with marketable skills such as project management, organisation and teamworking. 


You can boost your employability and professional skills with an optional placement year in industry, or a summer internship in the commercial sector.


An exciting part of your degree is your research project, where you undertake a piece of original research on a subject of your choice. This may be carried out in the lab, at one of the University's farms or at an animal centre. You also have the chance to study and learn alongside staff in the Animal Science research group, who are internationally recognised for their research.
