Why study the Bachelor of Veterinary Technology?
Do you have a passion to work in Animal Health and Welfare? In the Bachelor of Veterinary Technology you will study animal handling, welfare and behaviour, clinical aspects of small and large animal health, veterinary surgical nursing principles, and veterinary practice management.
As a veterinary technology student you will gain skills in routine laboratory and clinical support procedures including: veterinary radiography and diagnostic practices; anaesthesia; surgery; clinical pathology and pharmacology; nutrition; veterinary therapeutics; and animal reproduction. Students will also develop knowledge and professional skills in animal management, technology and welfare that can be used beyond the clinical setting, e.g. in the regulatory, industry, academic sectors.
What you can study
The first year of the program provides a solid biological science base, along with some discipline specific courses that allow immediate immersion in practical and professional aspects of training.
The second year builds on the foundation courses and develops more discipline specific expertise in areas such as animal structure and function, pathology and infectious diseases, animal, biochemistry and animal technology.
The final year offers a series of clinical and professionally focused courses. You will participate in transition to practice courses and clinical rotations, and participate in industry placement programs in vet clinics and hospitals, wildlife parks, government agencies, welfare organisations, animal breeding enterprises and pharmaceutical companies.
You can broaden your skill set by concurrently enrolling in the UQ Skills Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing, Certificate III in Rural Operations or the Farm Ready program through the UQ Skills (domestic students only).
