The Veterinary Surgeons Board may refuse to register a person not deemed fit to practice veterinary science by reason of infirmity, injury, mental or physical illness, habitual drunkenness or addiction to a deleterious drug. In order to meet and maintain accreditation standards with the AVBC, CSU is required to train and graduate students who are eligible to be registered as veterinarians.
This is a broad veterinary science degree; it is a requirement that graduates have the skills to practice veterinary medicine and surgery across all species of domestic and potentially native and wild animals.

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.
Next year I want to go to Charles Sturt University at Wagga Wagga to study either Agricultural Science or Veterinary Science. For as long as I can remember I have wanted to work in rural industries. Now I have the chance stating at CSU.
I chose to study veterinary science at CSU because the course addresses the current shortage of rural veterinarians.
Undergraduate courses in Animal Science, Equine Science and Veterinary Science and a Graduate Certificate in Captive Vertebrate Management.
