Overview

Bachelor of Veterinary Science (Honours)

Currently, this course is not offered.

 

Become equipped with the skills to diagnose, treat, manage, and prevent disease in various companion, production, aquatic and native animals. 

You will gain strong foundational knowledge throughout your degree, as well as specialised rural and tropical veterinary science skills.

Discover how you can promote and optimise the health and welfare of communities, animals and their environment through studies in epidemiology, zoonoses and public health. 

As a student of James Cook University’s Bachelor of Veterinary Science degree, you will learn how to improve the health status of individual animals and populations and analyse, formulate and communicate solutions to complex disease problems using a One Health approach. 

You’ll gain hands-on experience in implementing and monitoring treatment and management plans, as well as see demonstrations of consultation with clients, carers, animal owners and communities.

Take advantage of JCU’s real-world teaching settings, including an on-campus Veterinary and Emergency Centre and Hospital, a local working cattle station and access to several specialists and diverse veterinary practices. 

In your final two years, you will complete a variety of clinical placements in both rural and urban veterinary practices.

Upon graduation, you will be a veterinarian equipped to deliver safe and effective health care by working effectively in and across diverse veterinary teams. 

You’ll be able to identify problems related to animal and public health and lead in the formulation and application of solutions that are appropriate and sustainable in tropical or rural environments.
