Royal Veterinary College, University of London

The MSci in Applied Bioveterinary Research is an undergraduate integrated master's degree which aims to prepare you for a PhD or a career in research, where you will strive to explore the development of new therapies for both human and veterinary diseases. The programme draws on our long history of cutting-edge research programmes which have contributed to advances in human as well as veterinary medicine, and explores the fundamentals of biological and biomedical science that are needed to understand and develop new therapies for both human and veterinary diseases. The course will give you a clear and detailed understanding of underpinning physiology and cellular and molecular biology, as well as an insight into disease mechanisms and an appreciation of comparative and integrated approaches to aid diagnosis and treatment in the future. The fourth year, which contains the industry placement, will build on your knowledge gained from your first three years and develop your scientific and transferable skills further, making you ‘work ready’ and able to realise your full potential as soon as you embark on your chosen career path once graduating from the course. This programme has received Advanced Accreditation from the Royal Society of Biology following an independent and rigorous assessment. Accredited degree programmes contain a solid academic foundation in biological knowledge and key skills, and prepare graduates to address the needs of employers.
