Next year UoM JAFFY's!

[ChairmanMel]

I just graduated high school and I'm aiming for the BSc  animal health and disease, I hope to graduate BSc and get into the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine course... speaking of which, does anyone know the chance of getting into it? what sort of grades will I need?

A question to fellow 2012 graduates: how many of you are taking a gap year and starting UoM in 2014?

Definitely good ones. Vet is quite competitive. I'd say at least H2As from what I've heard, but I'm no expert.

I'd try to get the best marks possible (trying to get as close to a H1 average as possible) as there would be quite a bit of competition and it's only based on GPA.

What is the Animal Health and Disease major?

Animal Health and Disease is one the majors on offer in the Bachelor of Science.

The core second year Animal Health and Disease subjects - Foundations of Animal Health 1and 2, and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology - are the prerequisites for entry to the Veterinary Bioscience specialisation. During second year studies in the Animal Health and Disease major, students can apply for entry to the Veterinary Bioscience specialisation for third year. Students who are admitted to, and successfully complete, the Veterinary Bioscience specialisation in third year are guaranteed entry to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine with 100 points credit (1 year of study), leaving 3 years of study in the DVM.

The major also provides a pathway for students interested in pursuing careers in areas such as animal science and research, animal production industries, disease surveillance and bio-security, and animal welfare. The alternative specialisation is Animal Disease Biotechnology, from which students will graduate with skills in the areas of animal health and disease surveillance.
