Overview
Study a research-led curriculum focused on animal health, where you can select modules tailored to your interests, including animal immunology, animal ecology and animal nutrition.
Career opportunities
- In your first year on the Veterinary Biosciences (Hons) programme offered at the University of Surrey you’ll study topics that are fundamental to veterinary biosciences, including biochemistry, cell biology, principles of evolution, molecular biology and genetics, microbiology, and veterinary anatomy and physiology, ensuring you have a solid foundation upon which to build the rest of your degree. During your second year, you’ll get the option to learn about the pathogenesis of major human diseases, gain an understanding of endocrinology, including the role of individual hormones, delve deeper into animal nutrition and food microbiology, and study animal and plant ecology. In your third year, you’ll study animal infectious diseases, exploring prevention and control strategies and their impact on public health and safety, in addition to veterinary immunology, gaining an insight into comparative immunology between animal species specificities and exploring their immune responses. You’ll also select four modules, exploring topics such as animal behaviour, animal diversity, epidemiology of infectious diseases and food security. 93 per cent of biosciences and medicine graduates go on to employment or further study (Graduate Outcomes 2024, HESA). With a Veterinary Biosciences degree you could take a role such as:
- Animal health officer
- Laboratory manager
- Research scientist.
Accreditation
Accredited by the Royal Society of Biology for the purpose of meeting, in part, the academic and experience requirement of membership and Chartered Biologist (CBiol).
