Working with domestic and wild animals requires more than passion – it demands scientific knowledge and practical expertise.
Choose a degree that gives you both, preparing you for various careers in the animal industry.
With La Trobe's Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Biosciences, you can turn your love of animals into a fulfilling career.

Each year of your degree will include practical elements, such as real-life animal case studies that allow you to work closely with the industry partners.
Placements – compulsory and elective – allow you to take your learning out of the classroom and into the real world.
Industry experts will present lectures and workshops throughout your degree, giving first-hand insights into your future.
