Bioveterinary Sciences with Foundation

About this course

Bioveterinary sciences is the application of the biological sciences to the study of animal health, disease and welfare. It draws on cell biology, genetics, microbiology, immunology, pharmacology and physiology to understand how diseases develop in animals, how they can be prevented and treated, and how animal health intersects with human health and environmental sustainability. The discipline is not the same as veterinary medicine, which is a clinical professional programme, but it provides the scientific foundations for careers in research, industry and allied health professions that work alongside the veterinary sector. At Reading, this four-year programme begins with a foundation year, which provides the biological and scientific groundwork for students entering with non-standard qualifications or who benefit from additional preparation. Following the foundation year, you will study
