Students will graduate ready for the workplace, or they can use this course as a pathway into a veterinary medicine degree.

Students will get the opportunity to learn:

• Animal science

Build important foundations in all aspects of animal science, including animal health, nutrition, physiology, welfare, reproduction and management.

• Microbiology

Learn about microorganisms, how they live, how they work and how they cause disease.

• Metabolic biochemistry
