Bachelor of Animal Science

This program provides students with an understanding of animals, our relationship with them and management of them. It equips graduates with the skills and knowledge needed to face challenges such as improving the conditions and methods by which we manage companion animals, shrinking habitat, feral animals threatening indigenous animal populations, and a need for meat and other animal products to be produced more efficiently and humanely.
