A student’s perspective

Student
Bachelor of Veterinary Science

I think what really makes this degree special is the staff. They are so incredibly passionate about helping you to become a good vet and they really go above and beyond for you. I also had the opportunity to be a student volunteer at the Equine Veterinarians Australia conference, which was a great experience.
