Overview

Animal Science is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a one year foundation course, the year before an undergraduate degree begins.

Teaching in Animal Science includes survey and data skills that carry directly into consultancy work.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
