Veterinary Science at the University of Adelaide has a unique focus on Australian livestock production, equine health, aquaculture and biosecurity and involves input from a range of partner institutions, government agencies and industry. This Bachelor program forms the first part of the veterinary science program. It is followed by a three-year postgraduate Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program, focusing on the clinical skills required for veterinary practice. Students satisfactorily completing the undergraduate degree and 12 weeks of Animal Husbandry Extra Mural Studies (AHEMS) will gain direct entry into the postgraduate program.
