Bachelor of Veterinary Science (Honours)

Become a fully qualified and internationally recognised veterinarian with the knowledge and practical skills to apply medical, diagnostic and therapeutic care to animals.

At our world-class Gatton campus you'll undertake foundational training in the anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, nutrition and behaviour of healthy domestic and wild animals.

Your first 3 years include more than 600 hours of practical training, where you'll develop animal handling and husbandry skills and acquire detailed knowledge of animal pathology and diagnostics.

In fourth year, you'll undertake dedicated medicine and surgery courses for each of the major animal species, plus population and public health training, and complete 130 hours of clinical practical work.

The final year includes more than 1,400 hours of lecture-free training within university and privately owned veterinary practices. You'll provide authentic care and receive hands-on experience during off-campus placements and at UQ Gatton’s Small Animal Hospital and Equine Specialist Hospital.

This program also teaches essential clinical and professional competencies such as communication, business capability and self-development.
