Veterinary Degrees Online

A new programme: taught jointly by the Faculties of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical & Life Sciences; is being developed.

The programme is likely to cover comparative biomedical sciences (anatomy and physiology combined with biomolecular science), pathological sciences (such as infectious disease and molecular oncology) and the principles and effects of drug action. The final year should include courses on applied animal behaviour, welfare and ethics, plus a significant research project from a wide choice of topics.

This new degree will provide an excellent preparation for research studentships, assistantships and fellowships in veterinary research; and for those considering a career in the animal care or pharmaceutical industries where a broad understanding of the biomedical sciences would be an asset. Other career possibilities include teaching of biological subjects at schools, colleges of further education or universities. This would also be an ideal first degree for those wishing to undertake Veterinary Medicine & Surgery as a second degree.
