Testimonial | Veterinary Biology / Veterinary Science student
I chose to study veterinary science at CSU because the course addresses the current shortage of rural veterinarians.
-
Video | Clear Horizons
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.
