Course Key Topics
the Feline Studies (Level 3) course is divided into 10 modules.
Module 1: Origins of the Domestic Cat
This module forms the basis for the remainder of the modules within this qualification. The module allows you to discover how the domestic cat came about by examining:
- Feline evolution.
- Feline domestication through out the world.
- Cats and the role they play in religion.
- The rise and fall of the cat in Europe.
- Folklore, legends and magic.
Module 2: Feline Anatomy and Physiology
This module looks at all aspects of feline anatomy and physiology. The module starts by looking at anatomy and physiology at a cellular level and will also encompass the workings of full body systems. The module will cover the following aspects of anatomy and physiology: 1/ The external parameters and points of the feline body 2/ Cells, tissues, organs and body systems 3/ The locomotory system and the role the skeleton and muscles play 4/ The circulatory system and the role the heart, blood and the lymphatic system plays 5/ The urinary system and the role of the bladder and kidneys 6/ The endocrine system and the role hormones play in the body
Module 3: Feline Neurophysiology and the Sensory Systems
Building on from module 2, module 3 looks at how the nervous system works and how messages are transmitted internally and externally. It examines how the motor and sensory systems work together in maintaining bodily functions. The module will also overview:
- The importance of homeostasis and the role it plays in allowing the body to maintain a constant internal environment.
- The structure and function of the nervous tissue and cells.
- The brain and the central nervous system.
- The sensory organs and how they receive messages.
Module 4: Feline Nutrition
Nutrition forms the key basis to enable a feline to be healthy. The module will look at the key food groups and the role they play in maintaining health. This module will also look at how physiological changes can affect the nutritional requirements of the feline. The module will also cover:
- Nutrient classification and how a deficiency can affect health.
- The feline monogastric digestive system.
- Feeding cats, how much, what and why?
- The commercial food industry.
Module 5: Feline Reproduction
The feline is know as an induced ovulator, meaning it needs to mate to ovulate. During the breeding system, which for the feline species occurs during milder weather, the female feline is known to mate with a number of males. This enables the feline gene pool to be wider as to enable the survival of the species. Module 5 will also examine:
- The male and female reproductive systems.
- The oestrus cycle and breeding season.
- Pregnancy and parturition.
- The development of the kitten.
- Controlling breeding in order to control feline populations.
Module 6: Feline Behavioural Science
The study of feline behaviour is a growth area. The feline is known to be quite elusive and whilst outside our homes a lot is still not understood about their behaviours. The feline is known to be a solitary and an independent species but recent research has shown that this may not be the case as the feline increasingly adapts to the environments they live in with their owners. The module will also examin:
- Feline communication, the importance of body language and scent marking.
- Behavioural development inside and outside the womb.
- Problem or unwanted behaviours including aggression and urine marking.
Module 7: Genetics
The science of genetics is key to understanding how traits are inherited between different generations. Selective breeding is important in increasing numbers where populations may be low, however it is also used by breeders. The breeders will breed desired traits into these breeds for the purpose of appearance, behaviour and the also the reduction of disease. The module will also look at:
- The genome and other definitions.
- Inheritance of feline characteristics, including coat colour and type.
- Mutations that can occur in specific breeds.
Module 8: Feline Health
The health of any species is important. Within this unit preventative measures that can be taken to stop diseases is reviewed. The main preventative measures that are taken to help maintain health includes neutering, vaccination, treatments of parasites, good breeding and the correct diet. Common infectious diseases, their causes and transmission are also discussed. Other diseases where even the best care of the cat will not prevent, will also be discussed. These diseases can include cancers and those linked to inheritance. The module will also look at:
- Infectious diseases caused by viruses, bacteria and fungus’s and how to prevent them.
- Non infectious diseases which includes cancer and those which are inherited.
Module 9: Feline Husbandry
The welfare of the feline is addressed through good husbandry to ensure its needs are met. The feline can live individually or in small numbers usually in our homes. Whilst others may live in larger numbers within people’s homes which is not always ideal due to the stress it can cause and the higher risk of disease that can occur within this species group. Other felines may live on farms and are often regarded as semi feral, whilst others may live in large feral colonies, whilst others may be homed in rescues centres, commercial catteries or breeding establishments either short or long term. Good husbandry is essential in considering the felines living conditions, to ensure they are free from pain, distress and disease. The module will also oversee:
- Rescue organisations including their history, procedures and the management of feral colonies.
- Catteries and breeding facilities and their procedures.
Module 10: Rules and Regulations
Within this final unit animal legislation will be looked at specifically those that affect the feline. The history of animal legislation will be looked at on a global scale. Rules may also vary dependent on the organisation and how cats are used within our society. The module will also examine:
- Animal welfare legislation, its history and how it is used and the ethics in relation to feline breeding for commercial gain or for feline showing.

Career Profile - Veterinary Surgeon
Career Profile
Veterinary surgeons provide medical care to a range of animals, from domestic pets to those in farm and zoo settings and wild animals with injuries
Your role as a veterinary surgeon (often known as a vet) will be to safeguard the health and welfare of animals. It’s likely you’ll do this in a general practice, where you’ll be responsible for the medical and surgical treatment of a range of animals.
You’ll use your practical skills and knowledge of animal physiology, nutrition and medicine to diagnose illnesses, prescribe medicines and perform surgery. You’ll also manage anaesthesia during procedures and will work to prevent disease in animals and the spread of disease.
For information about working in a veterinary support role, see veterinary nurse.
Responsibilities
As an Veterinary Surgeon, you’ll need to:
* work from a surgery or visit animals in their living environments, such as a farm or stables
* carry out home visits, which only some vets do
* handle, examine and treat all species of animals, including domestic animals, farm livestock and horses
* meet and consult with the owners and carers of various animals, including zookeepers
* carry out tests such as x-rays, blood samples and ultrasound scans
* give advice to farmers on issues such as nutrition, breeding and herd health
* routinely visit farms to check the health of livestock
* immunise animals against different types of disease
* euthanise old and terminally ill animals
* perform surgery, including managing anaesthesia
* work on out-of-hours emergency cases when on call
* provide suitable paperwork for animals travelling abroad, as well as inserting identification microchips
* maintain up-to-date records
* liaise with, and refer to, other professionals within the industry
inspect certain animal products to ensure they are safe for human consumption
* manage the practice finances, promotional activities and recruitment, if you work as a practice partner
* research diseases, test and manage infection outbreaks, investigate food safety issues and complete paperwork for pet passports, if you work for a government agency.
Salary
* Starting salaries for newly-qualified vets are generally around £32,000 to £33,600.
* With further training and experience, your salary can rise to between £40,000 and £70,000, with the median being £52,693 (£68,950 in London).
* Highly experienced vets in the most senior roles can earn in the region of £70,000 to £100,000.
Locum vets can earn around £425 per day, with an average hourly rate of £50. Night working locums can earn £750 per night.
Salary levels can vary according to further training, specialisation, whether you’re working as a practice partner and the size and location of the practice. Vets working in large animal practices tend to earn more than those working with smaller animals. Salary packages may include a car and accommodation.
Income data from the Society of Practising Veterinary Surgeons (SPVS) 2022/3 Salaries Survey. Figures are intended as a guide only.
Working Hours
Many veterinary practices offer service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Because of this, your working hours may be irregular as it’s important to be available for emergencies.
What to expect
* Many vets work in private practices and experience as a vet can lead to buying into or setting up a practice of your own.
* Locum work is often possible.
* Working conditions vary. Vets work in surgeries, farms, zoos, customers’ homes and other environments. They may be required to work outdoors in poor weather conditions.
* The job can be physically demanding and stressful due to its high level of responsibility. There are physical risks, spanning from minor injuries such as scratching and biting from animals to the much rarer risk of catching a trans-species disease.
* There has been a significant increase in the number of women entering the profession and there are now more female practising veterinary surgeons than male. There are also significantly more female undergraduate veterinary students, though in most veterinary practices women are still underrepresented at very senior level and sometimes face discrimination for their gender.
Skills
You’ll need to have:
* commitment to animal welfare
* flexibility
* an ability to communicate to clients in a way that is easy to understand, and especially in emotional circumstances
* a caring and approachable manner
* being caring and approachable
* good organisational skills
* being able to work in a practical and unsentimental way with animals
* commercial and management skills, for those wishing to progress to practice partner.
Career prospects
As a newly-qualified veterinary surgeon, you’ll usually start work as an assistant before becoming fully-fledged. Once in post, there are opportunities to specialise, for example, in equine medicine, small animal surgery or dermatology. Further training is required for these specialisations, which may lead to a diploma.
With time and experience you may be offered the opportunity to become a partner or a principal in a veterinary practice. Whether you decide to take this up is a personal decision, as it requires a greater degree of responsibility and financial and management input into the practice. Partnership opportunities have decreased somewhat due to large companies taking over many veterinary practices and employing vets on a salaried basis.
With further training, extensive professional experience and publication of articles, it’s possible to gain RCVS Recognised Specialist Status. Recognised specialists offer consultation in their chosen field.
You could move from practice work to working for an animal welfare society, or government service in a related field such as the licensing of veterinary medicines.
There are also research and teaching opportunities in universities, research institutes and pharmaceutical companies. Common areas include animal disease cure and prevention and food safety.

Grading & How it Works
The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.
This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.
Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.
We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
