BSc (Hons) Animal Biology
Introduction:
Explore the fascinating animal kingdom and the scientific principles that underpin this important and wide-ranging subject area. The course will give you a sound knowledge and understanding of animal biology. Your lectures will cover major scientific principles, including anatomy and physiology, behaviour, genetics, ecology, and nutrition. The course focuses on the study of companion and livestock species. Core scientific study is supported by practical animal handling in our specialist unit.
If you have any questions about our Animal Biology course, you can now chat to our experienced lecturers and course leaders through Unibuddy.
- Based at our Brackenhurst Campus you will have access to our modern on-campus Animal Unit which houses over 250 animals from 70 different species. You'll also benefit from our working farm, including a herd of Lincoln Red cattle, a specialist cattle roundhouse and a flock of sheep.
- We've recently redeveloped this course in conjunction with external academic and industry professionals to ensure your learning is right at the forefront of advances in the subject area.
- We're ranked first in the UK for student satisfaction in Animal Science subjects (National Student Survey, 2022).
- 93% of BSc (Hons) Animal Biology full-time students would recommend NTU (National Student Survey, 2022).
Which course is right for you?
We offer four animal science degrees, each with a different focus:
- BSc (Hons) Animal Biology (this course) - focuses on managed domestic species such as companion, working and farm animals.
- BSc (Hons) Zoo Biology - focuses on captive housed zoo animals and exotic species.
- BSc (Hons) Zoology - covers a diverse range of invertebrate and vertebrate species in relation to their biology, evolution, taxonomy and identification.
- FdSc Animal Science - is more vocational, with greater emphasis on practical and applied skills.
