Undergraduate courses in Animal Science, Equine Science and Veterinary Science and a Graduate Certificate in Captive Vertebrate Management.
Dr Joanne Connolly speaks about her research at CSU on the health of the platypus in the Murrumbidgee catchment
I chose to study veterinary science at CSU because the course addresses the current shortage of rural veterinarians.
Our graduates develop substantial skills and knowledge in relation to the modern management of horses, underpinned by a strong education in science and scientific method.
CSU’s Bachelor of Veterinary Biology/Bachelor of Veterinary Science graduates are proving to be highly sought after employees with most finding jobs well before they graduate
