Bachelor of Veterinary Technology

Course Overview

A Bachelor of Veterinary Technology program prepares students to work as skilled veterinary technicians, supporting veterinarians in diagnosing, treating, and caring for animals. The curriculum covers animal anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, medical imaging, laboratory procedures, anaesthesia, and animal behaviour. Graduates are equipped to work in veterinary clinics, animal hospitals, research facilities, or wildlife conservation. The program emphasizes hands-on clinical training, critical thinking, and the latest advances in veterinary medicine.

Entry Requirements

To be eligible for a Bachelor of Veterinary Technology, applicants typically need a high school diploma or its equivalent with a strong foundation in science subjects such as biology, chemistry, and mathematics. A minimum GPA is often required, though this may vary by institution. English language proficiency must be demonstrated with an IELTS score of 6.0 or higher, with no individual band score below 5.5. Some programs may also require completion of specific pre-university courses in biology or chemistry. Additional application materials, such as a letter of recommendation or personal statement, may be required, and relevant work or volunteer experience in animal care is often considered an advantage. In some cases, an interview or entrance exam may be part of the admission process.
