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.

More programs from the university

With over 185 undergraduate degrees across 39 subject areas to choose from, it’s easy to find your perfect course at Newcastle University

Most of our undergraduate courses are three, four, or five years in length, depending on the subject you choose. You can also broaden your focus – choosing one of our well-established Joint Honours degrees or blending two or three of over 20 courses with our Combined Honours programme. 

You’ll benefit from an outstanding learning experience – our teaching is 5-star (QS Stars 2022) – and because our pioneering research as a Russell Group university will feed into your degree, you’ll learn at the cutting edge of your discipline. 

Strong links with national and multinational industries – including technology innovator Dyson, PwC, GlaxoSmithKline, IBM and our global principal partner, Siemens Research and Innovation Ecosystem (Siemens RIE) – help shape our degree programmes. 

Industry-sponsored events and in-degree opportunities including work shadowing, work experience, internships and volunteering, will give you a new perspective of the world and your future career. 

Your degree could also take you to another country – either as a compulsory part of your studies or as something you choose to do, extending your degree by up to 12 months. 

You’ll build the skills to become a highly desirable graduate: 

  • exploring your subject through fieldwork, study visits, practical skills sessions, workshops and studio-based teaching.
  • applying your learning in clinical settings, working with industry-standard equipment alongside professional practitioners.
  • showcasing your skills through performance opportunities, professional development programmes and industry-sponsored competitions.
  • gaining industry perspectives through business simulations, conferences and lectures by leading professionals.
