Bachelor in Bsc Applied Animal Health

Tuition fees are 17,800 USD per year.

Ensuring the health and welfare of animals requires a sophisticated understanding of pathophysiology, clinical practice, and ethical management. This one-year top-up programme, delivered through the University of Plymouth’s partnership with Cornwall College, is designed for individuals who have already completed foundational studies and wish to advance their technical expertise in animal health.

The curriculum bridges the gap between academic theory and the practical demands of the veterinary, shelter, and animal management industries. Students engage with the complexities of disease control, clinical diagnostics, and professional leadership, positioning themselves for specialized roles in animal care.
