Veterinary biosciences is a biological sciences programme designed to provide students 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 taught and delivered by leading expert life scientists and veterinary clinicians. The School of Veterinary Medicine was ranked 7th in the world (QS World University Rankings 2015) and one of the best in the UK for quality of veterinary research (REF 2014).

The specialist and applied nature of the programme will prepare you for a diverse range of careers including those in biomedical sciences, animal care, nutrition, public health, scientific and agricultural research, the pharmaceutical industry, the civil service, animal charities, epidemiology and disease risk assessment, and advisory and conservation bodies. The programme may also provide a suitable platform for students wishing to undertake a postgraduate degree. While this programme does not provide recognised training for those wishing to practise as a veterinary surgeon, some students choose to study Veterinary Biosciences prior to entering a veterinary medicine degree programme.
