Western Australia’s only Veterinary Science course will provide students with the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills and practical experience necessary to solve the existing and emerging problems of companion animals, livestock and wildlife.

A science-based approach and hands-on experience will prepare students for the highest standard of work in the veterinary industry. To become a qualified veterinarian, students will need to complete a three-year, 6-semester Bachelor of Science (Veterinary Biology) that progresses into an integrated two-year, 6-trimester DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine). Students are therefore able to complete their full qualification over 5 calendar years.

Students with prior university study in a relevant discipline may be eligible for advanced standing for first year units, with an opportunity for an accelerated option to complete an additional mandatory first year unit over summer. These students can be considered for entry into the second year of the veterinary course, thereby completing the degree over 4 calendar years.
