Scotland: Animal Health Research and Development

About this Program

Scotland (Alba) is a land of breathtaking natural landscapes, vibrant cities and quaint villages, and a rich cultural tapestry. From the majestic highlands and islands that share the same mountain range as our very own Appalachians, to some of the world’s oldest and most prominent universities, Scotland’s proud history and diverse heritage offer an unparalleled immersive experience.

The CAES Department of Poultry Science at the University of Georgia is thrilled to offer an exceptional two-week Maymester experiential learning opportunity to explore this incredible country with a focus on research and development in the realm of animal health, both in the public sector and higher education arenas. This study abroad program will collaborate with prominent department supporters and key alumni employers, Scotland’s colleges of veterinary medicine, and world-renown researchers in the realms of animal health, genetics, and welfare across a diverse range of species.

This program is designed for all undergraduate students with pre-professional and pre-graduate school tracks from a variety of fields from across the university, fostering a multi-disciplinary approach. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to the program director.
