Our Animal Health degree combines both pure and applied sciences in the study of animals, while also incorporating practical animal management skills.
You’ll develop a sound understanding of scientific principles and practical competence with a range of animal species. You’ll also gain invaluable communication skills.
You'll take part in animal handling practicals involving work with a range of domesticated and captive animal species, as well as laboratory classes.
As a graduate of our Animal Science degree, you’ll have the ability to communicate your knowledge to others, practical animal management skills, and broad scientific training.
Graduating doesn't have to be the end of your time with us. You might decide to at ARU and study for a Masters, such as our MSc Animal Welfare and Conservation. Take advantage of our Alumni Scholarship and get 20% off your fees.
