Overview
We’ll support you to design and deliver an impactful research project, focused on an external setting, such as your workplace, or utilising the unique resources available on our 360-hectare campus. Join the Animal Science course at Hartpury University .
Technological and scientific developments are rapidly influencing the many aspects of animal science, making innovative research essential to sustainable practice. Our students uncover invaluable new knowledge that impacts real-world practice in animal behaviour, welfare, production, nutrition, reproduction and biomechanics.
Employability
Some optional modules require you to reflect on your current professional practice, so if you’re currently working in a professional role (voluntary, paid, full or part-time), this will be an ideal supplement to your studies.
You may want to progress your research in an external environment, but you may also be keen to make the most of our own commercial activities on campus. These include our farm and Agri-Tech Centre, equine and canine therapy centres, and equine events centre. We have strong industry partnerships across all subject areas that students can utilise and benefit from for their research. These include partnerships with national governing bodies, LEAF Farms, NAF, NFU, BEF, Jockey Club, UK Agility, RSPCA, PFMA, PIF and BIAZA.
- Studying a Master of Research degree provides you with the necessary skills to develop your career in a specific direction of travel or for PhD studies. It will also support you to advance your own professional aspirations – contemporary research experience will place you at the forefront of knowledge within your discipline.
