Course Overview

The grounding provided in science and applied animal studies also opens up opportunities in many research areas. It is essential to realise that by studying this course, you will not qualify as a vet (i.e. you can’t diagnose and treat animals), but there are opportunities to work alongside vets and other scientists in the veterinary pharmaceutical companies that produce animal health products as well as in the animal nutrition or biotechnology industries.

Some graduates have eventually studied at veterinary school to qualify as veterinary surgeons.

You would also be well qualified to work as an animal health inspector for a local authority or Defra. Do you enjoy studying science and discovering how scientific principles can be used to prevent disease and improve the health of animals?

Are you interested in learning more about the biology of a range of animals (farm, companion and equine) to know what is best for their overall health? Then this four-year course could be the right choice for you. It is a highly vocational course where the underpinning sciences are relevant and valuable. So time spent in the laboratory will be balanced with studying live animals. Basic health sciences such as anatomy, physiology, immunology, nutrition and molecular biology are explored, as are the sciences of animal disease – epidemiology, microbiology, parasitology, and pharmacology.

General Eligibility

  • Offers tend to be in the region of 104 UCAS points

  • Students should typically be studying three subjects at the A2 level to be considered

  • Applicants are encouraged to gain experience working with several different animals in different settings. Applicants should include details of this in their application. Experience with different animals will enable reflection and help with many aspects as students progress through the course.

  • Applicants must have a minimum of 4 GCSEs at grade C/4 or above, including the English Language, and Maths.

  • GCSE Science is not required

  • Applicants can expect to receive offers including specific grades in specific subjects (for example, a B or C at A level or an M or D for BTEC modules)

  • Essential Skills (and other level 2 variants) and First Certificates/Diplomas are not accepted in place of GCSE passes.

  • Interviews will take place on an ad-hoc basis should the Course Manager wish to discuss any aspect of your application and for all potentially suitable applicants who require visa sponsorship.

Part Time Work Details
