Achieve your goals in veterinary practice

Our Doctor of Veterinary Medicine provides the necessary training and qualifications for registration as a veterinarian. 

What will you do?

• learn about the causes, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of domesticated animals including dogs, cats, horses, ruminants, camelids, pigs and poultry
• explore wildlife ecology, conservation medicine and ecohealth
• hone your scientific and technical skills for research and clinical practice
• gain advanced professional experience through a structured internship program
• complete a further 23 weeks of extramural practical work.

Where could it take you?

You could work in clinical veterinary practice, treating small and/or large animals. You might work in biosecurity, managing programs to prevent disease incursion. Perhaps you’ll be a researcher or pursue pathways to government work, academia, consultancy, discipline specialisation (e.g. surgery, dermatology) or species specialisation (e.g. equine, wildlife, zoo animal).
