“The ability to learn about both veterinary and human
aspects of biological science allows me to understand the
scope of this field in a broader way. It is a very interesting
course where we get the opportunity to understand both
industry and academia. The teaching staff are very friendly

their respective fields enabled the learning environment to
be very motivating and inspiring. Getting hands-on practical
skills makes me confident in my ability to navigate around a
lab when I start my work placement year.”
