Animal Science Deferred choice Undergraduate at University of Newcastle upon Tyne
There are two specialist themes (or Honours Options) in the Animal Science course at Newcastle, reflecting different career paths after graduation. If you are interested in studying Animal Science but are not sure which Honours Option to select when you apply, please enter C305 on your UCAS form. This enables you to defer your choice of Option until Stage 2, when you choose to specialise in either Companion Animal Studies or Livestock Technology.
Stage 1 is common to all animal science students, during which you will develop knowledge and skills in the areas of animal health, behaviour, physiology, biochemistry, genetics and microbiology. There are optional modules to choose from in agriculture, evolution and biodiversity, as well as modules in information technology and practical techniques. You can also choose a European language or business/marketing modules to complement the science modules that form the core of this degree.

In today's society the study of animal science is essential to meet social, economic and environmental objectives. Knowledge and research in this area drives the development of sustainable livestock production, contributes to the UK food and drink sector and is essential in promoting the health and welfare of the nation’s companion animals.
Animal science at Newcastle explores all aspects of the biology of animals, developing your knowledge of the underlying scientific principles that govern how animals behave and function as well as the practical application of this knowledge.
The sound understanding of science, coupled with the critical thinking, analysis and communication skills
Stage 1: You develop an understanding of the scientific principles underpinning animal science through modules that are common to all animal science students - see Animal Science (Deferred Choice). You can also learn a European language or study aspects of business and marketing, skills that are increasingly sought after by companies in the animal science industry. Stage 2: You discover how scientific principles are applied to practical animal husbandry for a wide range of companion animal species. Stage 3: You examine the latest studies in companion animals being undertaken at centres across the world, such as the control of disease
We accept a broad range of qualifications and combinations of qualifications for entry to our degrees. You should also bear in mind the additional admissions criteria we consider.
All qualifications that are of a suitable academic level will be considered for entry to degree programmes, and will be considered in the context of appropriate preparation for the degree programme concerned.
In some circumstances it may not be possible to include certain subjects or a combination of subjects in an offer of a place.
If you have any concerns about the acceptability of subjects for a particular degree or aren't sure if your particular
Stages 1 and 2: You receive a broad introduction to agriculture (see 'Agriculture – All Degrees' below).
Stage 3: Core modules develop key areas relating to animal production science such as animal breeding and growth; farm animal nutrition; and forage utilisation. Optional modules enable you to obtain expertise in related areas such as product quality and marketing; animal welfare and environment; or tropical animal production. You are encouraged to compare and contrast different livestock enterprises and to integrate scientific knowledge into sound production systems, considering the demands of both the market and the population. There are visits to look at livestock
You need the buzzword when you register on the Apply system so it is clear which school/college you are applying from.
All UK schools and colleges and a small number of EU and international establishments are registered with UCAS. If you are applying from one of these, you should get your school/college UCAS 'buzzword' from your teacher or adviser. If you are applying independently, or are applying from a school/college which is not registered to manage applications, you will still use the Apply system but you do not need a 'buzzword'.

Admission to ESF is competitive, but our admission process is a personal one. Your interests, abilities and goals are important to us in providing the best information and guidance we can as you explore your college options.
All applicants to SUNY ESF must file the State University of New York (SUNY) common application form to initiate the admissions process. This form may be filed online, the preferred method, or by paper through the SUNY Application Services Center. Additionally, all applicants must file the SUNY ESF Supplemental Application form and credentials appropriate for the application pathway they have chosen. The Supplemental Application
Biological Science and Chemistry are the traditional majors for pre-Vet-Med students. However, as with pre-med, any major is an option for a student desiring to become a veterinarian. The coursework requirements are identical to those for Pre-Medicine (see above under Medicine). Some schools have specific requirements for statistics (PSYC 63) and developmental biology/embryology (BIOL 105). Experience working with animals is a universal prerequisite for admissions to veterinary programs, and graduates also must take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). It is best to obtain a catalog from the prospective schools and complete the courses required for the school of choice. Close
