Study Veterinary Medicine

The Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine (Honours)* is a five-year, full-time degree offered at the Northern Rivers (Lismore) campus in NSW. It will be a reimagined veterinary medicine course which is student-centred and co-designed with the veterinary profession to produce skilled resilient graduates.

The degree includes early development of clinical problem-solving skills by connecting basic and clinical sciences. There will be extensive opportunities to practice and hone core clinical, communication, and teamwork skills. This covers a wide variety of environments, from companion animal veterinary practice to large-scale production animal and mixed rural practice, critical care, native wildlife and surgery.
