Bachelor of Natural Science Animal Science

Interactions between people and animals are increasing due to our ever-increasing reliance on animals for companionship and food production, whilst we also strive to understand the pressures placed on our unique wildlife. A Bachelor of Natural Science (Animal Science) will enable you to develop a deep understanding of these issues, through studies of animal behaviour, animal health and welfare, animal nutrition, animal production, animal reproduction, human-animal interactions, vertebrate biodiversity, and wildlife science. Throughout your studies, you will have access to diverse on-campus animal facilities including reptiles, native mammals, horses, sheep, cattle and deer and off-campus animal professionals and organisations such as wildlife parks, zoos, farms and horse studs.
