... United Kingdom
... Harper Adams University

Course Overview

Careers in this field are varied and rewarding. There are opportunities in animal health with companies associated with the development and marketing of animal health products. Nutritional products and special diet formulations are being developed for animals with health problems, and knowledge of both animal health and nutrition equips graduates for careers in this area.

Welfare and food safety concerns have led to job opportunities in quality assurance, with schemes being developed by the RSPCA, supermarkets and the farming industry. Or you may consider a career in animal welfare and the management of collection animals, in animal physiotherapy or in the pet care industry.
