About

Do you enjoy studying science and finding out 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) in order to know what is best for their overall health? Then the Veterinary Bioscience programme of Harper Adams University is the right choice for you.

Overview

The Veterinary Bioscience programme of Harper Adams University it is a highly vocational course where the underpinning sciences are relevant and useful. So time spent in the laboratory will be balanced with the study of live animals. Basic health sciences such as anatomy, physiology, immunology, nutrition and molecular biology are studied as are the sciences of animal disease – epidemiology, microbiology, parasitology, and pharmacology.

Careers

The grounding provided in both science and applied animal studies also opens up opportunities in many areas of research. It is important 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 gone on to study at veterinary school to eventually qualify as a veterinary surgeon.

You would also be well qualified to work as an animal health inspector for a local authority or Defra.

Programme Structure

Course include:
  • Applied Anatomy and Physiology
  • Companion Animal Management
  • Large Animal Management
  • Animal Health
