Bioveterinary Research is a • Parasitology of human and
challenging yet rewarding veterinary tropical diseases
course that will equip you • Practical investigative biology
with practical techniques and • Science of animal welfare
transferable skills for a range
of careers allied to biomedical
and veterinary scientific
research and academia.

“I have enjoyed the variety of modules that are taught
on the course and to view science from a veterinary and
human health perspective has helped me to develop a
deeper understanding into disease and science. The
scientific facilities are fantastic at the RVC and you are
able to learn so many techniques. In the course there are
multiple opportunities to present your research which gets
you prepared for the future if you want a career in science.”
