The BSc (Hons) Bioveterinary Science course at the University of Chester covers the science that explains animal health, diseases and well-being. Biology lessons are mixed with topics related to veterinary science, like physiology, the study of diseases, microorganisms and immunity. Students discover how animal bodies work and how to protect them by detecting and researching diseases. Students work on their practical skills through activities in labs, by dissecting and through visits to different sites. The course is a good option for people who wish to help animals through animal science without becoming vets. A graduate can start a career in animal research, pharmaceuticals, veterinary diagnostics, public health or continue their studies in veterinary or biomedical sciences.
