Beschreibung des Programms

The programme embeds key veterinary science modules such as Mammalian Biochemistry and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology which allows graduates to access entry into a wide range of paraveterinary postgraduate courses and employment opportunities. The modules incorporate key laboratory skills which are developed during the degree course and culminate in students having the opportunity to engage in collaborative projects with industry partners.

It also provides graduate opportunities for entry into management in other sectors and has a very broad scientific training offering entry to more than 25 post-graduate degree programmes both within and outside of the equine field.
