This comprehensive Animal Science course delves deeply into the biological and behavioural aspects of animals, integrating essential scientific disciplines for a holistic understanding. Starting with the principles of animal science, you will build a strong foundation in animal anatomy and physiology, exploring the structures and functions critical to animal health and performance.

The course covers cell biology and biochemistry, providing insight into the molecular mechanisms that sustain life. You will study animal microbiology to understand the microorganisms that impact animal health, and genetics and evolution to appreciate the hereditary and adaptive traits in animal populations.

Nutrition is addressed extensively, focusing on dietary needs and feeding strategies for different species. You will also learn about animal diseases and medicine, equipping you with knowledge to recognise and manage health challenges.

Animal behavioural ecology modules explore how animals interact with their environment and each other, while pet care emphasizes responsible ownership and welfare practices. The curriculum includes wildlife management techniques and comprehensive animal welfare principles, preparing you to promote ethical and sustainable treatment across various settings.
