VETERINARY MEDICINE

PROFESSION-SHAPING • CAREER-MAKING • WORLD-LEADING

We have been delivering exceptional training in veterinary
medicine for over 231 years, and our clinical facilities are
second-to-none. You will benefit from an outstanding learning
environment where you will gain practical experience in our
on-campus hospitals, practices and farm. You will graduate
ready to make a real difference in the veterinary profession.

Veterinary medicine is a strand-based course that follows a
‘spiral’ curriculum. This means that key concepts are presented
repeatedly to you as you progress through the course, at
deepening levels of complexity and in different contexts.
The progression of knowledge and understanding from preclinical
basic concepts to clinical and professional knowledge and
reasoning skills is achieved by revisits to each strand at different
stages of the course. For example, when learning about the
kidney, you will learn basic anatomy, and physiology during the
preclinical phase of the course and then learn about the common
diseases of the kidney and how they are diagnosed and treated
during the clinical phase. This is then enriched by working with
animal patients presented with kidney disease in our first opinion
and referral hospitals, or other practices, during clinical rotations
and extra-mural placements.
