The Bioveterinary Science BSc (Hons) at the University of Chester equips you to understand and address the complex challenges in animal health and welfare. This undergraduate degree is ideal for those fascinated by the biological underpinnings of disease and its impact on animals, from cellular processes to population-level management. You will explore critical areas such as cell structure, biochemistry, infectious and non-infectious diseases, and animal behaviour, gaining a foundational understanding of normal physiological states to better recognise and manage abnormalities. This course is designed for aspiring professionals keen to contribute to advancements in veterinary science and animal welfare.
Studied full-time on campus over three years, you will develop a robust skill set through a curriculum that integrates practical laboratory techniques, including microscopy, microbiology, and molecular biology, with theoretical knowledge. You will learn to develop and test scientific hypotheses, design experiments, and analyse data, preparing you for a significant dissertation project in your final year. This hands-on approach ensures you are trained in the essential tools for scientific discovery. You will graduate with the expertise and practical experience sought after for careers in veterinary support, research, and animal health industries.
