Food security is vital to the success and stability of any country and its population. Meeting the world's increasing demand for food is one of the most important challenges of the twenty-first century. Livestock Science is, and will remain, central to meeting this challenge.

Not only is food quantity important but so is quality, with consumers continuing to demand a high quality product at an affordable price. These demands can only be met by the development and implementation of innovative concepts and ideas by suitably well-qualified post graduates, who will also have the skills to be the planners, drivers and managers of the developments of these exciting developments in livestock science and production on a large scale.
Postgraduate courses in the field of Livestock Science such as the MSc provided by Aberystwyth University aim to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to pursue leading careers in livestock research, development, training, public and private commercial enterprise, advisory work, government agencies, non-government organizations etc throughout the world.
Several universities offer undergraduate courses in Agricultural science/Livestock science/Animal science but Aberystwyth is one of the very few that offer post graduate opportunities in the field of Livestock Science. Such post graduate courses have proven over the years to provide a valuable and well respected qualification which opens the door for its graduates to pursue a whole host of exciting opportunities, many graduates holding exciting positions, such as: senior positions in University/College lecturing and management, research establishments, commercial companies, advisory positions, consultancy, administrative posts, retail industry, journalism etc. In addition, as with many post graduate qualifications these days, the course will also allow you to pursue a whole host of careers in other related and unrelated disciplines where a post graduate qualification leads to accelerated promotion and greater opportunities.
