  3. Understand the basic structure and biological nature of microorganisms and parasites, and apply these to the immunology, pathogenesis and control of selected diseases.
  4. Describe animal care in relation to livestock production systems, the equine industry and companion animals, including management, environment, nutrition and their normal behaviour, and apply these to working with selected animals.
  5. Identify the underpinning contribution of basic biological research to veterinary science.

Disgrifiad cryno

The module consists of six “strands” that will provide students with an introduction to the basic foundations of veterinary science. The “Animal Husbandry” strand is an introduction to animal care and the role animals play in our societies. In this first year, students will gain a practical and theoretical understanding of anatomy and physiology of the major animal body systems in three strands: “Alimentary, Endocrine and Urogenital systems”, ”Cardiovascular, Respiratory and Locomotor systems” and “Neurology, Ophthalmology and Special Senses” strand. Understanding of core biological concepts will be delivered in the “Principles of Science” strand encompassing areas such as infectious diseases, pathology, genetics and immunology. Finally, the “Principles of Veterinary Practice & Evidence Based Medicine” strand introduces important themes of professionalism, ethics, communication skills and decision-making.
