Stage 1: Common to all animal science students and develops an understanding of the scientific principles underpinning animal science such as physiology, genetics and behaviour; students can also learn a European language or study aspects of business and marketing. Stage 2: Students discover how scientific principles are applied to practical animal husbandry for a wide range of companion animal species. Stage 3: The latest studies in companion animals being undertaken at centres across the world are examined, such as the control of disease through the use of naturally occurring plant extracts or genotype selection for better disease resistance; students work in teams to organise a mini-conference on animal health which is open to the rest of the Faculty and the general public; students arrange everything from fundraising, identifying and inviting keynote speakers to catering and even giving some of the presentations themselves; students also undertake a research project.

This course explores many aspects of the biology of companion animals and covers a wide range of species including cats, dogs and horses as well as the less common pet species; it is designed for students who may wish to develop their interest in companion animals into a career, such as our recent graduates working in animal behaviour therapy and in the animal health industry.
