You'll explore the biology of farm animals, horses and companion animals. You’ll gain valuable preparation for your degree with a foundation year covering a range of biology topics. This degree programme will provide a suitable pathway to a veterinary medicine course, with other exciting career options including veterinary laboratory diagnostician, nutritionist or animal health researcher. If you’re feeling adventurous, why not take the chance to study abroad during your degree? We have exchange agreements with universities in Europe, USA, Canada, and elsewhere, so you can apply to spend all or part of your 3rd year studying veterinary biosciences overseas. You’ll miss Aberystwyth, but you’ll love the new perspectives that international study can bring. Students can elect to study a number of modules in the medium of Welsh.

Vocational courses also have staff whose background lies within industry. The Department has a large number of research only staff with whom students may have contact.
