Entry requirements

The published course information specifies attendance (full-time), UCAS code D303, campus (Preston) and that a foundation year is available, but the source text does not list specific academic entry grades or subject prerequisites. Applicants should consult the university’s admissions pages or UCAS entry for up-to-date entry criteria.

Career prospects

Graduates have progressed into postgraduate study, veterinary degrees and roles in human pathology laboratories among other scientific careers. The course aims to prepare students for careers that require laboratory competence, field skills and applied knowledge of animal health, welfare and One Health policy.

Scholarships & funding angle (general)

The accelerated two-year format is designed to reduce total tuition and living costs by delivering a full bachelor’s degree in two years rather than three. The programme’s accreditation and practical focus may support applications for funded postgraduate study or employer-sponsored roles, but specific scholarships or funding details are not provided in the source text.
