Postgraduate

Livestock Health and Production (MSC, Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate)

Duration

Students registering for the MSc in Livestock Health and Production have a minimum of two years and a maximum of five years in which to complete the degree, whilst Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate students have a minimum of one year and a maximum of five.

The ‘study year’ is effectively between February and September, with examinations in early/mid-October.

Because individuals differ in the number of hours per week they need to devote to study, and in the number of years in which they would like to complete the programme, it is difficult to be precise about the number of hours’ study required. A rough guide, however, is that to complete in the minimum period you should be prepared for not less than 10 hours of study per week and 15 hours would be recommended. It is very important that the hours given to study, however many they may be, and even though their timing may vary, should be given consistently.
