This is an applied science course focusing on farm animals. If you are interested in livestock production systems, anatomy and physiology, reproduction, genetics, nutrition and welfare then this is the course for you.
This course will allow you to develop your practical and laboratory skills using a range of real-life scenarios. Year 3 is a full placement year in industry as part of your degree, enabling you to put knowledge into practice, develop your network and discover your future ambitions. When you return from placement you will enter Year 4 where you will carry out a scientific investigation of your choice, alongside core and optional modules to further your interests.
There are a wide range of career opportunities available to Animal Production Science graduates in animal nutrition, animal health, advisory roles and technical sales. Your in-depth knowledge of farm animal health and production systems will qualify you for careers such as animal health and welfare inspector for a local authority or Defra (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs).
Or you may choose to work in the animal feed industry developing new diets or in an animal health company, for instance. Some students prefer to use their skills as enterprise managers, or to go on to postgraduate study.
