Animal Science Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

This four-year course includes an integrated foundation year, after which the syllabus follows that of the standard three-year course, BSc Animal Science ([D306](https://courses.aber.ac.uk/undergraduate/animal-science-degree/)).

During your studies you will acquire an understanding of the key biology relating to domesticated animal health, including anatomy, physiology, nutrition, disease diagnosis and behaviour. You will also be able to develop a special interest in either livestock science, equine science or behavioural science, by selecting one of the degree’s three pathways. 

Your academic understanding will be firmly grounded within the practical and applied context of animal science and further enhanced by guest lecturers from different areas of the animal science industry. Our teaching staff are active researchers in areas such as veterinary infectious diseases, nutrition, reproduction, behaviour and more. 

This course is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology.
