Veterinary biosciences is a biological sciences programme designed to provide you with a strong understanding of the key elements that underpin all modern biological sciences, with a major focus on the biology of health and disease in animals. The programme is delivered by leading expert scientists and veterinary clinicians with a strong focus on research led teaching. Glasgow is ranked 1st in the UK for Animal Science (The Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023). You can take Veterinary Biosciences as an MSci, which includes an additional placement year, between the third and final years of the degree. This is normally spent doing research in industry or a research institute in the UK or overseas.The Veterinary Biosciences programme at Glasgow is run in collaboration with associated research institutes across both Gilmorehill and Garscube campuses. The School of Biodiversity, One Health and Veterinary Medicine (BOHVM) has its own working farm, the Scottish Centre for Production Animal Health & Food Safety large animal facility, Weipers Centre Equine Hospital and Small Animal Hospital, all for potential use in teaching and practical sessions.The specialist, applied and hands-on nature of this programme prepares you for a varied and fulfilling range of careers in veterinary biosciences. Our students have progressed to graduate degrees in specialist areas of biomedical sciences, as well as directly into careers in animal nutrition, animal care, conservation and welfare, public health, veterinary diagnostic and scientific research, veterinary physiotherapy, secondary school teaching, the pharmaceutical industry, and epidemiological and disease risk assessment.
