Overview:

The BSc (Hons) Veterinary Biosciences introduces the scientific principles that underpin animal health, veterinary medicine, and related biological research. At the University of Glasgow, students develop a broad understanding of biological systems and the processes that influence animal health and disease.

What You'll Learn:

• Core concepts in animal biology, physiology, and biochemistry

• The structure and function of cells, tissues, and biological systems

• Principles of genetics, microbiology, and molecular biology

• Processes involved in animal health, disease, and infection

• Scientific approaches to understanding biological and veterinary problems

• Practical methods used to investigate biological systems and interpret scientific information

• The relationship between fundamental bioscience and veterinary applications

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the course, students will be able to explain key biological processes relevant to veterinary science and relate them to animal health and disease. They will understand how different areas of bioscience contribute to the study of animals and veterinary problems, while developing the ability to evaluate scientific information and apply relevant concepts to biological questions. Students will also be able to use appropriate scientific approaches to investigate biological systems, interpret findings, and communicate their understanding clearly.
