Program Overview
Animals are an important part of our world. Demand for animal-related
occupations is increasing. That’s why Animal Science
is one of the most popular programs we have. In four years,
you get a fantastic hands-on scientific degree in animals.
Our graduates understand the physiology and behaviour of
domestic species, and also the business of raising and caring
for those animals. If you’re interested in the health
and well-being ofanimals in whatever role they play in our
world, our versatile hands-on training in Animal Science
is the ticket.

 And
the bonus is our animal facilities. You get the chance to
work with real animals like cattle, mink, sheep and poultry.
Add that to our modern laboratories and you get an amazing
hands-on undergraduate science education. |
