MSc Veterinary Science

兽医科学硕士课程旨在作为一个框架，让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，使他们能够在一般或专业领域从事研究，兽医实践，工业和政府的职业生涯。该方案可供研究生入学和插入兽医和医学本科生后，他们的第一个三年的研究。该计划与兽医学院感染生物学，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学院和感染与宿主防御学院的微生物学，基因组学和生态学小组密切相关，包括国家人畜共患病研究中心。该计划的组织允许学生遵循五个命名的途径之一，或采取一般的学习计划。这些途径是：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基于问题的学习，更传统的教学和学习方法，包括讲座和研讨会，并通过创新的“动手”学习，如疾病爆发模拟，互动研讨会和实地考察，并通过一个月的行业，政府，保护组织和研究机构。其目的是提供不仅是知识和学术技能，而且还为我们的毕业生提供“真实的生活真实的技能”，特别是在应用技能，如生态和保护传染病控制等领域的专业人士，并在这些领域的影响和发展政策。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，包括在英国和全球范围内制定和应用政策。该计划的毕业生将理想地在研究，工业或政府在优先领域发挥关键作用，包括食品安全和体内生物学2.培养和发展兽医和一般研究方法的技能3.发展“真实的技能为真实的世界”，包括沟通，知识交流和关键评估和分析技能。该计划独特地发展了对政策的理解，发展和应用以及对学科领域计划结构的全球影响的理解所有学生都遵循3个核心模块，授予100个学分。剩余的80个学分由一系列特定主题和可选模块组成。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，包括统计学放置- 4周的行业，研究或政府在相关领域研究项目-4个月的项目在一个活跃的研究小组可选和主题特定的模块：基础流行病学真实的时间模拟疾病爆发情景宿主-病原体相互作用疾病控制病原体的策略基因组，生物研究中的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
