BSc (Hons) Applied Animal Science

About

The aim of this course is to give you a sound knowledge and understanding of animal science and its applications. You'll learn practical and laboratory skills and develop an understanding of the environmental, ethical and economic contexts in which the sector operates.

You'll discover how animal science helps to improve the productivity and sustainability of livestock production systems and control disease epidemics. And you'll learn how it can be used to raise standards of animal welfare, and to enhance wildlife biodiversity.

You can also enter this course in year 3 and study as a top-up degree.

Find out more about the Applied Animal Science Top-Up Degree.

This course offers an understanding of animal science and its applications, and a foundation in biological principles, as well as practical and laboratory skills.

This degree course studies the growth, nutrition, reproduction, health, welfare and behaviour of animals, with a particular focus on farm livestock.

You'll also gain an understanding of the environmental, ethical and economic contexts in which the sector operates.

As well as practical skills and knowledge, you'll learn how you could contribute to some of the issues that affect the modern world.

We'll look at the potential impact of future demands from our growing population against a background of climate change. And we'll examine the role that animal sciences, and those that study them, can have in addressing that impact.
