Bachelor of Science (Animal Science)

In the first year level, students undertake foundation science courses that form the background for later studies in areas such as animal physiology, nutrition, breeding and management.
Level I involves studies at both the North Terrace and Roseworthy campuses, while the core elements of the rest of the program will be based at the Roseworthy campus.
