MPhil/PhD Bioveterinary Science
University of LincolnBrayford Pool, United Kingdom
Course overview
This programme provides students with the opportunity to research the science underlying animal health and disease. This could include the processes surrounding animal health, life histories of pathogens and parasites, infection and immunity, preventative measures, or diagnosis and treatments, and could look at issues affecting a wide range of animal species, including exotic, companion, livestock, and wild animals, as well as in humans. Students benefit from training courses provided by the University aimed at developing key skills in research.
Under the guidance and advice of their academic supervisors, students will also be encouraged to present talks and seminars on their work both at the University of Lincoln as well at national and international meetings and conferences, produce progress reports, develop their ability to write up work for publication in peer-reviewed journals, and, ultimately, to effectively communicate their research and thesis. Beyond learning how to conduct research and the specialist skills that students are expected to develop within their subject discipline, the process of studying for a research degree can provide transferable skills in problem-solving, time management, independent and team work, and communication.
