    About

    Our two-year accelerated programme has full accreditation by the Royal Society of Biology. You'll learn from leading experts in the field including veterinary clinicians and scientific researchers.

    If you want to work in a rewarding scientific career with a focus on animals, then this is the course for you. Our graduates have gone on to postgraduate study, veterinary degrees, working in human pathology laboratories and more.

    On this programme, you will explore traditional concepts of bioveterinary sciences such as animal health, disease and diagnostics, while developing skills and knowledge in more modern aspects of the field.

    You will study a One Health approach to bioveterinary science. This includes studying animal behaviour and welfare science, social issues, global challenges and communication skills. This course is designed to give you a thorough, yet balanced understanding of the way we live and work with animals and our environment as one.

    Our accelerated programme means you gain a full bachelor’s degree in two years. Typically, comparable degrees take three years. This will allow you to progress into the workforce faster and save money on tuition fees and living costs. Our course runs over three semesters instead of two, so you will study between September and July.
