Animal Science Deferred choice Undergraduate at University of Newcastle upon Tyne

jitender — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:04:06 +0000

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.

Applied Animal Science Undergraduate at Scottish Agricultural College

jitender — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 11:13:50 +0000

Throughout history, animals have contributed to human society by providing food, materials and companionship and by performing key roles in the workplace, in recreation and in sport.

Animal science is not only a fascinating subject to study. It is also vital for improving standards of animal welfare, protecting livestock from disease epidemics and safeguarding public health from animal borne diseases.

Animal science is also central to addressing other issues of today, such the growing global demand for meat, milk and eggs and how climate change will affect the spread of animal diseases. With current concerns about greenhouse gas emissions from livestock, knowledge of animal science will also be critical in the drive to reduce the environmental impact and improve the sustainability of livestock production systems.

The Applied Animal Science course is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills required for a career in animal science, where employment opportunities continue to be excellent.

Veterinary Pathobiology MSc at Chulalongkorn University

jitender — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 07:25:28 +0000

The graduate study in Pathobiology is a multidisciplinary program providing a common back ground for clinical practices and the basic research. To render a guideline for the veterinary diagnosis and thera- peutic areas of interest, our programs are recommended for veterinary pathologist, parasitologist, microbiologist, virologist and the immunologist. Chulalongkorn University, the first institution of the high learning was established in 1917. As well as the Faculty of Veterinary Science, we are the most experienced school of veterinary science of the country. Almost 70 years of experience in veterinary medical teaching we have produced most than 3600 veterinary undergraduates to date. For that reason, we are able to provide the first-class veteri- nary facilities and staffs who will be giving an excellent lecture series and hands-on research throughout the graduate program. A series of course works are delivered by seminars, practice works and clinical adjoined field research. Course Outline : Our course offer an exclusive study program in order to furnish you with scientific research, clinical research and pathological critical skills, with are our uniqueness. The overall aim of these programs are to produce the veterinary masters and doctorates in animal diseases, diagnostic techniques and animal immunology in order to connect you to the world of veterinary science. Course content : year 1 is the groundbreaking course work. Students will be involves in an introduction to cell and molecular biology, excellent series of seminar in pathobiology and research methodology. yesr 2 is the decisive course work. Students will be advised to one of the specialities in pathobiology. For example, students will be have to take one of these pathobiology sub-programs, pathology, para- sitology, microbiology, virology and immunology as their desire. year 3 until completion is for thesis or dissertation. The undertaken experimental works are under supervision of the research committee. In addition, for each individual, his/her thesis or dissertation will be necessary for the program completion. We encourage students to write a publication at the end of the program.

Pre Veterinary Medicine Undergraduate at University Of Saint Francis Illinois

jitender — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 06:19:00 +0000

The University of St. Francis offers excellent undergraduate preparation for veterinary school. USF does not offer a specific “pre-vet” major. Few colleges in the United States do because there is not a specific major required for admission to colleges of veterinary medicine. USF does offer a biology degree with a pre-veterinary track for students interested in pursuing careers in veterinary medicine. Therefore, USF students complete a core of courses which prepare them for entrance into veterinary college and still enjoy the freedom and flexibility to design a curriculum in advanced science course which are appropriate to their interests.

Colleges of veterinary medicine are looking for students who have completed a core of specific course work in biology, chemistry, math and physics and who have performed at a high academic level. Veterinary colleges may also require volunteer work or other specific types of clinical experience outside the classroom. In addition, coursework required in the humanities and social sciences may vary by school.
