Bioveterinary Sciences

This module will introduce you to the science that underpins understanding of animal welfare and husbandry practices across a range of species.

This module will enable you to form a basic understanding of complex scientific and societal global challenges. You'll learn how scientific evidence could be used to underpin priorities and policies.

This module will introduce the you to the science that underpins our understanding of biology, ecology and biochemistry. You'll learn theoretical knowledge and practical experience of common scientific techniques. These techniques will aid you in understanding of the research process and utilising evidence. You will learn how to select and present data using statistical and graphical techniques.

This module will provide you with the basic scientific principles required to underpin your studies. It includes basic elements of anatomy, physiology, and basic laboratory-based practicals.

This module will provide you with a broad understanding of animal structure and function across a range of animal species. It includes aspects of anatomy, histology and physiology, which are relevant to the other modules of the course. The teaching is primarily mammal-based, but includes important species differences across animal kingdoms 

This module will provide you with the knowledge and understanding of disease, its aetiology, clinical presentation, epidemiology, and pathogenesis. You'll gain an understanding of the origin and functions of immune cell types, their mode of action and the role of immune mediators.

This module aims to provide a broad, holistic and integrated understanding of animal structure and function across a range of domestic and non-conventional animal species. It includes aspects of veterinary anatomy, histology and physiology, all of which are presented in a way that makes their relevance clear.

This module will explore the foundational science behind biology, spanning molecular biology to ecosystems. You'll learn about physiological variations across species and the interplay of environments with wild and domestic animals. Additionally, you will hain skills in data analysis and presentation using various techniques.

This module will provide you with the knowledge and understanding of disease, its aetiology, clinical presentation, epidemiology, and pathogenesis. You'll gain knowledge and understanding of the activity of the immune system in infectious and non-infectious diseases.

This module aims to enable you to develop theoretical and practical skills in animal behaviour, housing and husbandry techniques across a range of animal care industries.

This module aims to help you understand the role of research in bioveterinary sciences. So you can not only distinguish between types of research and identify limitations, but also have the necessary skills to undertake your own research project in the final year of the programme.

This module helps you develop your communication techniques and practical skills needed for colleague, client, and wider public interactions. You will discuss techniques for animal handling, welfare assessments, sample collection and processing and large-scale applications such as animal rescue.

This module will enable you to critically evaluate complex animal welfare and related ethical and professional issues, and to appraise those issues in an evidence-based and proactive manner.

This module builds on previous modules to support you in designing and completing your own research project.

This module aims to enable you to form an understanding of a complex scientific and social issue and global challenges and how scientific evidence is used to underpin priorities and policies.
