MSc Global Wildlife Health and Conservation This innovative programme aims to give you the knowledge, skills and practical training needed to work with wildlife, and particularly emphasises wildlife health and conservation on a global scale.
Cutting-edge topics include animal capture and handling techniques; the assessment, stabilisation and transportation of injured animals; methods for improving the welfare of captive animals; concepts in behavioural ecology; endangered species breeding programmes; the reintroduction of captive populations to the wild; practical conservation strategies; and the management of protected areas. The curriculum also delivers a comprehensive introduction to wildlife disease ecology, surveillance and control.
The MSc is based at the School of Veterinary Sciences in the village of Langford near the Mendip Hills in Somerset, providing convenient access to Exmoor National Park and the rich wildlife habitats of south-west England. A large number of lectures, small group workshops and practical sessions take place at Bristol Zoo, allowing you to gain hands-on experience of exotic animal care while working behind the scenes in a modern zoological garden.
A special feature of this MSc is the large number of specialist lectures, workshops and seminars that are delivered by leading researchers, conservationists and wildlife veterinarians from outside the University.

These provide valuable networking opportunities that will benefit you in your future career.
By the end of the course you will have gained the skills and knowledge to deal with a variety of practical situations that professional wildlife biologists face on a day-to-day basis.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in a biological, veterinary or environmental science subject.
PG Diploma Veterinary Clinical Practice This programme will appeal to vets with one or two years’ clinical experience who want to develop their clinical skills. As well as preparing students for further clinical training, it also aims to develop skills for a primary care setting.
The diploma lasts 12 months and encompasses several pathways, including small animal practice, equine practice and clinical pathology; each student will pick one pathway for study. There are two compulsory units for each pathway and each unit carries equal weighting.
The goal is for students to consolidate and build on the clinical knowledge and skills gained from their undergraduate study and prior professional practice (eg the RCVS Professional Development Phase) in an area of veterinary medicine. Teaching will be delivered through a combination of directed clinical training, face-to-face
presentations and seminars, online resources and self-directed learning. Students will also receive training in evidence-based veterinary medicine.
Clinical activity takes place through rotations in a variety of areas within Langford Veterinary Services, including out-of-hours immersion.
Entry requirements: Applicants will need a relevant degree that allows them membership to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, plus a minimum of one year’s primary clinical experience in an English-speaking practice.
MSc Veterinary Sciences The three- or four-year MSc in Veterinary Sciences is designed to give senior clinical training scholars a grounding in clinical research skills. A significant component of the master’s will relate to clinical responsibilities in your chosen specialist areas. Additional units are designed to enhance universally important skills such as scientific writing, statistical analysis, critical reading and teaching. A research project will form an essential part of the master’s degree and European diploma requirements.
Students who complete this programme will be prepared for careers as specialist veterinary surgeons or academic vets, or for work in industry or research.
Entry requirements: To be considered for admission to this programme, applicants will need to be qualified as a veterinary surgeon.
