Why is the CSU Veterinary Science course a double degree?
The CSU Veterinary Science course is a six year program. At graduation, students will be awarded both a Bachelor of Veterinary Biology (BVetBio) and a Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc). The double degree recognises the extra content in the CSU veterinary program, compared to five year programs. Students who successfully complete the first three years of the course but are unable to compete the last three years are able to leave the course with one degree – the Bachelor of Veterinary Biology. This degree does not permit graduates to practice as a veterinary scientist, but does recognise the substantial training in animal -related sciences in the first three years of the course.
