Study with us
Study veterinary medicine at the University of Melbourne and join a faculty committed to life-long learning and the application of science to local, national and global issues. As a veterinarian, you can work in clinical practice or veterinary research, for pharmaceutical companies or education providers, at zoos or animal welfare agencies, and in government services or development agencies across the globe.
The Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM)
The first step is an undergraduate science degree, then completing the internationally-recognised Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) to qualify as a professionally accredited veterinarian. After developing a strong core of veterinary science knowledge, you will be able to follow your own area of interest and gain a wealth of professional experience.
