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

兽医科学硕士课程旨在为学生提供一个框架，允许学生在基于感染和生态学的兽医科学关键领域进行灵活的学习计划，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，工业和政府工作做好准备。该课程既适用于研究生入学，也适用于兽医和医学本科生在完成头三年的学习后的插班。该方案与兽医科学学院感染生物学、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以及生物科学和感染与宿主防御学院（包括国家人畜共患病研究中心）的微生物学、基因组学和生态学小组密切相关。该计划的组织允许学生遵循五个指定的途径之一或采取一般的学习计划。途径是：保护医学寄生虫学流行病学和感染感染和免疫感染和疾病控制该计划将通过结合问题为基础的学习，更传统的教学和学习方法，包括讲座和研讨会，通过创新的“实践”学习，如疾病爆发模拟，互动讲习班和实地考察，并通过在工业，政府，保育组织及研究机构。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“实际生活中的实际技能”，特别是在生态学和保护传染病控制等领域的专业技能应用以及在这些领域影响和制定政策方面的技能。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主要作用，包括英国和世界范围内政策的制定和应用。该课程的毕业生将理想地在研究、工业或政府优先领域发挥关键作用，包括食品安全和体内生物学。培养和发展兽医和一般研究方法的技能。培养“适应现实世界的真正技能”，包括沟通、知识交流以及批判性评估和分析的技能。该课程独特地发展了对政策的理解、发展和应用，以及对学科领域全球影响的认识。课程结构所有学生都遵循3个核心模块，授予100学分。剩下的80个学分由一系列特定学科和可选模块组成。核心模块：研究和通用技能-以研讨会为基础的模块，提供包括统计在内的研究所需的技能安置-在相关领域的工业，研究或政府工作4周研究项目-在活跃的研究小组内进行4个月的项目可选和主题特定模块：基础流行病学实时模拟疾病暴发情景宿主-病原体相互作用疾病控制策略病原体生物学研究中的基因组、转录组学和蛋白质组学技术兽医寄生虫学人畜共患病高级传染病流行病学保护医学保护医学高级统计学
