The University of Sydney Faculty of Veterinary Science

The Faculty of Veterinary Science opened its doors on the 22 March 1910. Since then, we have developed outstanding research and clinical facilities, and strong reciprocal links with academic peers around the world.

We are recognised internationally as a leading provider of education and a key contributor to the world's best practice in the care and welfare of animals.

Our vision is to be a world leader in veterinary education, animal science and research, focused on the health and welfare of animals, and of benefit to the community.

Our strong global connections ensure that about 20 percent of our veterinary students intakes each year are international students.

We are based in the heart of Sydney with our own rural facilities on the outskirts of the city.

PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE VET SCIENCE PROGRAM.

The Federal Government has been considering how it will provide long-term funding of postgraduate programs across the tertiary sector. The outcomes of these considerations may impact our ability to implement changes to the Faculty of Veterinary Science's courses.
The timing of advice from Government has meant that the Faculty has postponed any decision to introduce a BSc(Vet Biol)/DVM combined degree program, and a graduate entry DVM program, until such time as the Government's position is firmly known to the University.
At this stage, in 2013, the Faculty will continue to offer the 5 year BVSc degree to commencing students. Whilst every reasonable effort have been made to ensure that this statement is accurate as at the date it was originally published, you are advised to directly consult with the Faculty for up to date information about any changes to this position.
