MSc Veterinary Science

兽医科学硕士课程旨在为学生提供一个框架，让他们在围绕感染和生态学的关键兽医科学领域开展灵活的学习计划，为学生提供一系列技能和知识，为他们在一般或专业领域的研究、兽医实践、工业和政府职业生涯做好准备。该方案既可供研究生入学，也可供兽医和医学本科生在头三年学习后插入。该方案与兽医学院在感染生物学、寄生虫学、人畜共患病、流行病学、疾病生态学和动物行为方面的成功研究小组密切相关，与生物科学学院的微生物学、基因组学和生态学小组以及包括国家人畜共患病研究中心在内的感染和宿主防御密切相关。该计划的组织允许学生遵循五条指定路径中的一条，或参加一个一般的学习计划。课程内容包括：保育医学、寄生虫学、传染病和免疫感染及疾病控制课程将结合以问题为本的学习、较传统的教学方法(包括讲座和研讨会)、创新的“实践”学习(例如疾病暴发模拟、互动工作坊和实地考察)，以及为期一个月的行业、政府、保育组织和研究机构安置。其目的不仅是提供知识和学术技能，而且还为我们的毕业生提供“现实生活中的实际技能”，特别是在应用技能方面，例如在生态和养护、传染病控制以及影响和制定这些领域的政策方面。该计划的主要目标是：1.提供传染病、疾病生态学和保护以及兽医公共卫生方面的高级培训，使毕业生能够在这些学科中发挥重要作用，包括在英国和世界各地制定和应用政策。该计划的毕业生将是在食品安全和体内生物学等优先领域的研究、工业或政府部门发挥关键作用的理想人选。2.培养和发展兽医和一般研究方法方面的技能3.培养“真实世界的技能”，包括沟通、知识交流以及批判性评估和分析的技能。该课程的独特之处在于培养学生对政策的理解、发展和应用，以及对学科领域课程结构的全球影响的认识。所有学生都遵循3个核心模块，授予100个学分。剩下的80个学分由一系列特定科目和选修单元组成。核心模块：研究和通用技能-基于研讨会的模块提供研究所需的技能，包括统计安置-在相关领域的4周工业、研究或政府研究项目-4个月的项目在一个活跃的研究小组内可选和特定学科的模块：基础流行病学实时模拟疾病爆发情景宿主-病原体相互作用疾病控制策略病原体生物研究中的基因组、转录和蛋白质组技术兽医寄生虫学人兽共患病高级传染病流行病学保护医学1保护医学2高级统计学

The MSc in Veterinary Science is designed as a framework to allow students to undertake a flexible programme of study in key areas of veterinary science based around infection and ecology to provide students with a range of skills and knowledge to equip them for a career in research, veterinary practice, industry and government either in general or specialised areas. The programme is available for both postgraduate entry and for intercalation by veterinary and medical undergraduates after their first three years of study. The programme is closely linked to the successful research groups in infection biology, parasitology, zoonoses, epidemiology, disease ecology and animal behaviour in the School of Veterinary Science and to microbiology, genomics and ecology groups in the Schools of Biological Sciences and Infection and Host Defence including the National Centre for Zoonosis Research. The organisation of the programme allows students to follow one of five named pathways or to take a general programme of study. The pathways are: Conservation Medicine Parasitology Epidemiology and infection Infection and immunity Infection and Disease Control The programme will be delivered through a combination of problem-based learning, more traditional teaching and learning methods including lectures and seminars and through innovative 'hands on' learning such as disease outbreak simulations, interactive workshops and field trips and through a month long placement in industry, government, conservation organisations and research institutes. The aim is to provide not only knowledge and academic skills, but also to provide our graduates with 'real skills for real life' particularly in applying skills as professionals in areas such as ecology and conservationcontrol of infectious disease and in influencing and developing policy in these areas. The broad aims of the programme are: 1.To provide specific training in infectious disease, disease ecology and conservation and veterinary public health to an advanced level that allow graduates to play a major role in these disciplines including development and application of policy in the UK and worldwide. Graduates of the programme would be ideally placed to play a key role in research, industry or government in priority areas including food security and in vivo biology 2.To foster and develop skills in veterinary and general research methodology 3.To develop 'real skills for the real world' including communication, knowledge exchange and skills in critical evaluation and analysis. Uniquely the programme develops understanding ,development and application of policy and an appreciation of the global impact of the subject area Programme structure All students follow 3 core modules that award 100 credits. The remaining 80 credits are made up from a range of subject-specific and optional modules. Core Modules: Research and Generic Skills- Workshop-based module providing skills required for research including statistics Placement- 4 weeks in industry, research or government in a related area Research Project-4 month project within an acive research groups Optional and subject specific modules: Basic Epidemiology Real time simulated disease outbreak scenarios Host-pathogen interactions Strategies for Disease Control Pathogens Genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic technologies in biological research Veterinary Parasitology Zoonoses Advanced Infectious Disease Epidemiology Conservation medicine 1 Conservation medicine 2 Advanced Statistics
