Bioveterinary Science Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

The BSc (Hons) Bioveterinary Science degree at Lincoln gives students the opportunity to explore the science that underlies animal health and disease. As the information which veterinarians use to treat animals often comes from laboratories, this degree combines key concepts in animal science with relevant laboratory, field, and computer analysis, helping to give students the skills to support veterinarians.

Students are introduced to the processes surrounding animal health, including life histories of pathogens and parasites, infection and immunity, preventative measures, diagnosis, and treatments. There is the opportunity to study these issues in a range of animal species, including exotic, companion, livestock and wild animals, as well as in humans.

Students also have the option of a field trip in their final year as part of the optional 'Overseas Field Course' module. This can provide the opportunity to do research in a novel environment and to study local plants and animals. Destinations may vary, but have previously included the cloud forests of Ecuador, the Mankwe Wildlife Reserve in South Africa, and Peniche in Portugal.
