Master's courses
MS in Animal Science	details >
X close MS in Animal Science Duration: 2 years Course description: Graduate study in the field of Animal Science covers a variety of specializations which includes Animal Breeding, Animal Physiology, Animal Nutrition, Animal Production, Dairy Technology and Meat Science (for MSc only). Opportunities Advanced study in animal science equips graduates to handle key positions in government, academic institutions, and private companies. Graduates become employed as managers, supervisors, faculty members, researchers, consultants, practitioners, technicians. They also create opportunities for others as farm entrepreneurs. Areas of Specialization 1. Animal Breeding 2. Animal Nutrition 3. Animal Physiology 4. Animal Production 5. Dairy Technology 6. Meat Science Admission requirements: Tuition Fees: P 4,200-15,000 per semester P 8,400-30,000 per year Last updated: March 2017
