Irrespective of subjects chosen, graduates have developed skills in critical enquiry and evaluation of current process and practices in Bioveterinary Science. You'll acquire current subject knowledge that can be applied to solve challenges within industry, and be exposed to a range of veterinary diagnostic practices and be confident to assist with animal health assessments.
