Australian Veterinary Schools in Australia

In Australia, professional degrees can be undertaken either straight from high school at the undergraduate level, or after one has completed a university degree, at the graduate-entry level.

For professional degrees which train students to become veterinarians, students can study Veterinary Medicine/Veterinary Science in Australia as either:
(a) a Bachelor of Veterinary Science degree; or
(b) starting in 2011 at the University of Melbourne, as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.

Melbourne's new Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program is offered only to students who have already obtained an undergraduate Science degree.

Bachelor of Veterinary Science programs in Australia are suitable for students who wish to gain entry into a veterinary professional program directly from high school or after having completed undergraduate studies. Canadian students have the option of applying to the Bachelor of Veterinary Science program directly from high school or after having completed Bachelor of Science courses or a degree.

Next year, the University of Melbourne will introduce its Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program. This will be a four-year, graduate-entry program, and Canadian applicants will need to have completed an undergraduate Science degree and necessary pre-requisite subjects to be eligible to apply.
