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 that are developed through the course, mean you will be equipped for a wide range of careers in the animal science sector. The flexible nature of the course allows you to learn a European language or to acquire business or marketing skills, thereby increasing your options after graduation.

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 qualifications are recognised by the University, please contact the Enquiries Service for further information.

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’.
Academic references

Once you have completed your application, submit it to your referee (normally your teacher or adviser if you are applying from a UCAS registered school/college) who will attach your references and submit your completed application to UCAS for you.

If you are applying independently, you are responsible for obtaining and attaching the academic reference and for submitting the completed application online to UCAS. Note that your referee should know you well enough to write about you, your academic potential and your suitability for higher education. UCAS will not accept references from family, other relatives or friends.
Fees

The standard application fee is £19. This is only £9 if you apply for one course at one university or college only
