Animal Science (Livestock)

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. Our students uncover invaluable new knowledge that impacts real-world practice in livestock behaviour, welfare, production, nutrition, reproduction and biomechanics.

You’ll be supported by research-active lecturers, professors and industry professionals from Hartpury and our extensive networks. These include partnerships with national governing bodies, LEAF Farms, NAF, NFU, RSPCA and NSA. Most of our learning and research facilities are also home to successful businesses, which means you’ll have access to real-world research subjects, industry experts and technologies.

This course is ideal for those keen to progress a specific area of their professional practice. A mix of learning pathways, including campus and online delivery, will help you to design your timetable around other commitments.
