Explore the fascinating animal kingdom and the scientific principles that underpin this important and wide-ranging subject area. The course will give you a sound knowledge and understanding of animal biology. Your lectures will cover major scientific principles, including anatomy and physiology, behaviour, genetics, ecology, and nutrition. The course focuses on the study of companion and livestock species. Core scientific study is supported by practical animal handling in our specialist unit. We offer four animal science degrees, each with a different focus: BSc (Hons) Animal Biology (this course) - focuses on managed domestic species such as companion, working and farm animals. BSc (Hons) Zoo Biology - focuses on captive housed zoo animals and exotic species. BSc (Hons) Zoology - covers a diverse range of invertebrate and vertebrate species in relation to their biology, evolution, taxonomy and identification. FdSc Animal Science - is more vocational, with greater emphasis on practical and applied skills. You'll apply these principles in a range of contexts and focus on the key aspects of animal welfare, breeding and management. The course focuses on the study of companion and livestock species, and their housing, management and nutrition.
