Overview

Bachelor of Science (Animal Science)

This program at the University of Adelaide offers a broad range of animal science courses that cover wildlife, livestock, and companion and laboratory animal species. 

The program has a strong emphasis on the practical skills utilised in the area of animal science.

This program will require at least 200 hours of professional work experience to be completed by the mid-semester break of Semester 2 of the program's third year.
