Course Description
This integrated masters course advances your skills in animal science research. You'll study how to write research proposals and how to communicate your research to a wider audience. You'll develop your project management skills and your grasp of analytical techniques. All of these are essential if you decide you'd like a research career.
Our animal science course focuses on the health and care of managed animals. We cover livestock, companion, zoo, and lab animals.
As you progress through the course you can choose to specialise in different areas:
- Bioveterinary Science - examine the science behind animal health and disease
- Physiology and Biotechnology - study animal structure and function, including stem cell and developmental biology
- Livestock Production - investigate the science of farm animal nutrition, productivity and fertility
- Ecology and Conservation – focus on the science, management and welfare of zoo and captive animals
Teaching is based at Sutton Bonington Campus, which has a 450-hectare farm. You'll gain practical animal handling experience and use our University Farm. The Centre for Dairy Science Innovation is also on-campus. These facilities offer the latest research technologies. This means that you'll learn from academics working on internationally renowned research.
You'll develop your scientific knowledge and use our labs to apply this in practice. Field trips to the University Farm and Twycross Zoo help to put your learning into context through real-life examples.
Throughout your degree, you have the opportunity to choose from a range of additional options. You can apply to do these when you get here:
- Industry placement - you can add a year in industry between years two and three
- Study abroad - options include Australia, Canada, or Europe
