Bioveterinary Science - MBio

About

The MBio Bioveterinary Science degree at Lincoln gives students the opportunity to explore the science that underlies animal health and disease.

The first year of the degree introduces health and disease in the context of animal anatomy and physiology, cell biology, genetics, and the biochemistry of metabolism.

The second year builds on this, with further specialist study of animal health and disease, also providing the opportunity for students to pursue individual interests within a wide range of topics, including animal behaviour, protection, toxicology, and reproduction.

In the third year, students embark upon individual research projects and are provided the opportunity to travel overseas to participate in research field trips as part of the optional Overseas Field Course module. Further specialist modules including Control of Animal Disease and Veterinary Parasitology can be chosen to complete the third year.

The fourth year of the MBio Bioveterinary Science degree is an additional research-intensive final year, after the three-year BSc. This is an opportunity to progress to Master's level and prepare for opportunities in competitive job markets.

Students undertaking research projects have access to a range of advanced facilities including equipment for cytometry and confocal microscopy, as well as a bioacoustics lab. Our animal behaviour laboratory includes aquatic and reptile provision alongside an insectary.
