Bachelor of Science (Veterinary Bioscience)

The first year level involves studies at both North Terrace and Roseworthy campuses, while later year levels of the program will be based at the Roseworthy campus.
Students must satisfactorily complete 12 weeks of Animal Husbandry Extra Mural Studies (AHEMS).
Students will undertake placements at various locations, including farms and intensive production facilities.
After consultation with the Extra Mural Studies coordinator, placements can be undertaken, throughout Australia.
Overseas placements are possible, pending approval.
Students will be expected to travel to locations and the capacity to drive would be an advantage.

This can begin after the successful completion of ANIML SC 1017RW Animal Handling & Husbandry (Vet Bio) (or equivalent) and must be completed before the end of mid semester break Semester 2 of Level III of the program.
Assessment Varies with individual courses and includes a combination of verbal presentations, written assignments, individual or group projects and theory and practical exams.
