Comparative Pathology (Intercalated) UCAS Code: DB16
Institution Code: RVET R84

Is it for you?

The Intercalated BSc Comparative Pathology programme provides a wonderful opportunity for a few exceptional second and third-year veterinary, medical or dental students, to add a year on to their studies and experience first-hand the excitement of contemporary pathology, and its far-reaching scientific relevance. The programme aims to equip students with the following:

  • To develop an understanding of the disease process in animals and how it is assessed at the molecular level, in the cell, the organ, and the whole animal.
  • To show how contemporary technology is applied to dissecting and interpreting tissue responses in the pathological process.
  • To understand how pathology can be used for research and diagnosis.
  • To design experimental programmes appropriate for evaluating disease; to prepare and evaluate data; and to develop written and oral skills of communication.

Our students come from many different schools, backgrounds and countries all sharing common goals; a strong ambition to succeed in the veterinary field and a desire to improve animal health and welfare.
