Major overview
If you receive excellent results throughout your undergraduate Veterinary Biology degree, you may be eligible to undertake Honours in Veterinary Biology.
This is an additional year of study designed to further the knowledge you’ve developed throughout your undergraduate Veterinary Biology course.
Working closely with an academic, you’ll undertake an intensive research project on a topic of your choice, and further develop your research ability through an advanced research skills unit.
I love that Murdoch University is the only city-based university in Australia with a farm on campus. It makes it so easy to do practical classes right on your doorstep with all the state-of-the-art veterinary equipment and technologies.
