Here is what the Bachelor of Science (Veterinary Bioscience) qualification offered by Adelaide University covers and who it is designed for.
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.
During your first year of study, you'll cover foundational courses including biology, chemistry and physics, with a focus on animal knowledge. You'll also explore topics such as animal handling and husbandry, along with animal behaviour, welfare and ethics.
In following years, you'll delve deeper into veterinary anatomy and physiology as well as animal nutrition, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, parasitology and epidemiology. At the same time, you'll build your professional skills with practical placements.
Your work-based training will include Animal Husbandry Extra Mural Studies, a 12-week program that includes a placement at locations such as farms or intensive production facilities. During this time, you'll gain experience with groups of animals such as cattle, sheep and horses.
Upon graduation from the Bachelor of Science (Veterinary Bioscience), you can gain direct entry to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine to continue your studies. Successfully completing these degrees will lead to registration as a veterinarian.
