VeterinaryBioscience * “The facilities of Harper were what attracted me the most to this university. Especially having the Elizabeth Creak and Princess Margaret laboratories available and the amount of potential animal contact hours available with the companion animal house on site — as well as the Harper farm. "My placement was in the Princess Margaret Laboratories at Harper, covering the nutrition, soils, entomology, anatomy and general biology lab classes... My placement year has been extremely valuable with my learning and has helped me understand my aspirations post Harper." LouieMillar , BSc (Hons) Veterinary Bioscience From Scotland to Stratford-Upon Avon, to Tennessee to Alabama – Rebecca Kelly’s Bioveterinary degree and BCP placement scholarship with Aviagen has taken her all over the world. “I wanted a new challenge, something completely unbeknown to me – so the BPC scholarship was the first step at building a sustainable future for myself within the poultry industry. It is an industry I can use my Bioveterinary Science degree to make a difference in," says Rebecca. Having travelled the globe, Rebecca is back firmly on Harper soil to finish her degree. “Studying at Harper Adams is unexplainable, it’s amazing.
