Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Biosciences
Program Overview
With La Trobe's Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Biosciences, you can turn your love of animals into a fulfilling career.
Study the basics of animal science, including breeding, nutrition and animal welfare. You'll also delve into global issues such as food security, epidemics and pandemics, and the environmental impacts of animal agriculture. In later years you'll explore animal psychology, biochemistry and immunology.
Theory is vital, but we know you can only learn so much in the classroom. That's why your theoretical studies will be supported by robust hands-on learning. Each year of your degree will include practical elements, such as real-life animal case studies which give you the chance to work closely with our industry partners. Placements – both 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 you first-hand insights into your future. You'll graduate with experience under your belt and the foundations of a strong professional network.
Already know how you want your career to look? There's scope for you to make this degree what you want it to be. A wide range of electives in areas like zoology, wildlife and agriculture science give you the opportunity to tailor your studies to your career goals.
You'll graduate ready for the workplace, or you can use this course as a pathway into a veterinary medicine degree.
You'll get the opportunity to learn:
- Animal science: Build important foundations in all aspects of animal science, including animal health, nutrition, physiology, welfare, reproduction and management.
- Microbiology: Learn about microorganisms, how they live, how they work and how they cause disease.
- Metabolic biochemistry: Become familiar with the underlying biochemical processes that occur in animals, including those used to generate energy to maintain body function.
