A part-time, online master's for professionals who want advanced knowledge and practical skills in commercial animal and veterinary nutrition. Suited to people working in the feed industry, veterinary-related roles or those preparing for research/PhD study, the programme focuses on analysing diet, production, health and disease interactions.
The programme develops conceptual, analytical and presentation abilities for describing and analysing scientific, research and dietary ration data. Teaching covers methods to manage, design and evaluate diets while considering the interactions between diet, production, health and disease; these skills inform practical decision-making in commercial and veterinary contexts.
Applicants need a bachelor's degree at 2:2 or above in a relevant subject. Candidates with substantial relevant work experience may also be considered.
Graduates typically move into roles in the feed industry, veterinary-related nutrition work or continue into research such as PhD study. The course targets those who require applied skills in diet formulation, data analysis and evidence-based decision-making in production and health contexts.
