Bachelor of Science (Veterinary Bioscience)
Learn about the world of animals and train in the ways you can care for them. Explore the anatomy, physiology and behaviour of healthy animals while also identifying the pathogenic organisms that attack them. Your studies will give you an insight into animal handling and husbandry and you'll have opportunities to experience real industry settings including farms and production facilities. This practical degree offers a significant amount of hands-on animal work, starting from your first semester. You'll have access to purpose-built veterinary teaching and research facilities to help you learn job ready skills and techniques. This degree is the first part of Adelaide University's six year veterinary science program and graduates can gain direct entry into the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Upon completing both degrees, you'll be eligible to register as a veterinarian.
