This program offers a broad range of animal science courses that cover wildlife, livestock, companion and laboratory animal species. The program has a strong emphasis on the practical skills utilised in the area of animal science. In the first year level, students undertake foundation science courses which form the background for later studies in areas such as animal physiology, nutrition, breeding and management. Level I involves studies at both North Terrace and Roseworthy campuses, while the core elements of the rest of the program will be based at the Roseworthy campus. This program will require completion of at least 200 hours of professional work experience to be completed by mid-semester break of Semester 2 of the third year of the program.
