Course summary

The BSc Equine and Veterinary Bioscience degree at Aberystwyth University is the only one of its kind in the UK. It capitalises on Aberystwyth’s reputation as a long-established provider of equine courses, our research strengths in animal disease, nutrition, reproduction and behaviour, and our collaborative links with practising veterinary surgeons at the Wales Veterinary Science Centre to provide you with skills and knowledge related to the health and welfare of horses and a range of other animals. This unique course will provide you with a solid understanding of core concepts in veterinary medicine, including immunology, disease processes and the diagnosis and treatment of disease in a range of species. Dedicated theoretical and practical classes will place special emphasis on the physiology of the horse. Teaching, including some led by veterinary surgeons, will help frame your understanding within the practical context. The taught component of the Equine and Veterinary Bioscience with integrated year in industry course (D335) is identical to its three-year sister course BSc Equine and Veterinary Bioscience (D334). The year in industry is taken in your third year, is supervised and assessed, and will count towards your degree grade. During your year in industry, you will pay a discounted tuition fee.  While the BSc Equine and Veterinary Bioscience degree does not provide recognised training for those wishing to practise as a veterinary surgeon, the unique mix of subject matter will help you develop the knowledge and skills required for professional roles within the equine industry, as well as in careers allied to veterinary medicine, such as veterinary laboratory diagnostician. Equine and Veterinary Bioscience provides a broad scientific foundation which will prepare you for a wide range of career opportunities in equine and animal science, animal welfare, research and development, advisory and technical support work, and education, in the UK and overseas. Our graduates work as research scientists, in pharmaceuticals and for animal nutrition companies. Some have progressed to MSc and PhD postgraduate study. Completing a year in industry will allow you to: - apply the learning from your course to the work environment - make valuable industry contacts - develop practical skills related to your area of study - enrich your final year of studies with an enhanced appreciation of its applicability to your career  - greatly enhance your CV and increase your prospects of success in the job market. Please note that we do not have automatic work placements for every applicant. You will be responsible for securing your own work experience, with the support of our dedicated Year in Industry Coordinator and careers advisor to maximise your chances of success. If you are unsuccessful, you will be able to convert your course to the three-year version of the BSc Equine and Veterinary Bioscience degree.
