Animal science focuses on the scientific disciplines that underpin the management of captive, productive and companion animals. These include reproduction, nutrition, health and welfare. There are plenty of opportunities to gain hands-on research experience on a number of active research projects where you will develop key skills in team working, problem solving and data handling. You can choose to study the science and management of horses, or small animal management studies with specialist organisations, and our award-winning campus and satellite facilities offer a range of opportunities for fieldwork. If you would like to complete a relevant industrial placement year in the UK or abroad between the second and final year, you should consider studying BSc Animal Science with Placement Year. This degree offers strong transferable skills with real-world application, leading to many possible career paths.
