Program Description

In the bachelor in Animal Science (BSc) you will learn about animal science. It focuses on the health, productivity, and care of managed animals. Innovation in animal science aims to address some of the biggest challenges facing our world today, such as feeding a growing human population.

While zoology looks at wild animals in their natural habitats, animal science focuses on the study of managed animals in settings such as farms and zoos. Veterinary science focuses on supporting animals through illness and injury. In contrast, animal science looks into their health and care by finding more effective ways to breed, raise and look after animals.

The bachelor in Animal Science (BSc) blends scientific excellence with hands-on learning. You will be taught by academics who are at the forefront of research in their fields. You will gain practical animal handling experience including guinea pigs, sheep, dogs, hens, and cows, with practical sessions and field trips.

The University of Nottingham offers a wide range of bursaries and international undergraduate scholarships.
