Do you enjoy studying science and finding out how scientific principles can be used to prevent disease and improve the health of animals Are you interested in learning more about the biology of a range of animals (farm, companion and equine) in order to know what is best for their overall health Then this four-year course could be the right choice for you. It is a highly vocational course where the underpinning sciences are relevant and useful. So time spent in the laboratory will be balanced with the study of live animals. Basic health sciences such as anatomy, physiology, immunology, nutrition and molecular biology are studied as are the sciences of animal disease -- epidemiology, microbiology, parasitology, and pharmacology.
Offers tend to be in the region of 104 - 120 UCAS points (min 3 x A2 passes).An understanding of a biological science based subject, for example Biology, Human Biology, Applied Science or Physical Education would be preferable. We would welcome applications from candidates offering other evidence of their suitability for this programme.Students should typically be studying 3 subjects at A2 level to be considered.When combining qualifications no more than one Subsidiary Diploma or Diploma (or comparable qualification such as an Extended Certificate) will be considered alongside A levels (two A levels for BSc).No more than one art/design subject.General Studies and Critical Thinking are encouraged but not included in grades required.Applicants are encouraged to gain experience working with a number of different animals in different settings. Applicants should include details of this in their application. Experience of different animals will enable reflection and will help with many aspects as students' progress through the course..4 GCSEs at grade C/4 or above, including English Language, Maths and a Science.Where an applicant was not given access to GCSE Science, a BTEC level 2 in Science will be accepted as an alternative at a grade M. Confirmation will be required from the school/college that GCSE Science was not an option..Applicants can expect to receive offers including specific grades in specific subjects (for example, a B or C at A level, or an M or D for BTEC modules).Key Skills (and other level 2 variants) and First Certificates/Diplomas are not accepted in place of GCSE passes.Interviews will take place on an ad-hoc basis should the Course Manager wish to discuss any aspect of your application and for all potentially suitable applicants who require visa sponsorship.IELTS 6 needed overall.
