Veterinary Biosciences

About this course

Veterinary biosciences is a biological sciences programme rooted in the study of health and disease in animals. It occupies a distinct position among biological science degrees by focusing specifically on animal biology, the mechanisms of disease, and the scientific foundations that underpin modern veterinary medicine and animal health research. For students who are drawn to the life sciences but want their studies to be anchored in animal systems rather than a purely human-centred framework, it represents a highly focused and intellectually demanding path. At the University of Glasgow, this four-year full-time programme includes a year abroad, giving you an international dimension to your studies that reflects the global nature of animal health science. You will develop a strong understanding of the key elements that underpin all modern biological sciences, including cell biology, gene
