Course structure

Your education in the early years will emphasise the basic sciences, the use and critical analysis of published literature, animal production systems and analytical skills. You will develop practical skills in animal handling, communication (verbal, non-verbal and written) and some veterinary procedures. Clinical training commences in year four and learning in years four and five is directed through a problem-based learning curriculum, supported by practical classes and clinical rotations. Year six consists of a series of clinical placements both within and external to the University.

You will be required to complete extra-mural studies (EMS) during the University vacation time in years one to five inclusive.

In the first three years, EMS will be on farms and in the later years in clinical practice and professional settings. At all levels of the course you will spend some time in veterinary practices, providing a link between the theory in your formal learning and its application in professional practice.

An indicative course structure and enrolment pattern are available in the CSU Handbook.
