Bachelor of Science / Bachelor of International Studies - Animal Science

Western Sydney University

As human interactions with animals increase, so too does our need to effectively manage these populations. Animal scientists use scientific principles to understand and manage the complex relationships between humans and animals in a rapidly changing world. In this major you’ll develop a deep understanding of how we use animals for food, companionship and recreation by applying core principles ranging from nutrition and reproduction through to behaviour and welfare. You’ll benefit from access to diverse on-campus animal facilities including reptiles, native mammals, sheep, cattle and deer and off-campus organisations such as wildlife parks, zoos and farms. A variety of exciting career paths are available on completion of this program, including international opportunities in the management of wildlife, companion animals and livestock.
