About studying veterinary science
This area covers veterinary science and animal health. To register as a veterinarian you need an accredited veterinary degree. Veterinary technology and animal science degrees do not lead to registration as a vet.
This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.
Getting into veterinary science courses
Selection is primarily ATAR-based, and these courses are among the most competitive in the country because so few universities offer them. Units 3 and 4 English is the usual prerequisite, and chemistry or biology is commonly required. Some courses ask about animal handling experience. Becoming a registered veterinarian takes an accredited veterinary degree, which for several of these is a further qualification after this one.

These are the lowest rank and the lowest ATAR that got an offer in 2026, not a cut-off or a guarantee. Next year's depends on how many places there are and who applies. How ATARs really work · Didn't get the ATAR you needed?
