Working with domestic and wild animals requires more than just passion – it demands scientific knowledge and practical expertise. Choose a degree that gives you both, preparing you for a diverse range of careers in the animal industries.
With La Trobe's Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Biosciences , you can turn your love of animals into a fulfilling career. Study the basics of animal science, including breeding, nutrition and animal welfare.

In later years you'll explore animal psychology, biochemistry and immunology.

Each year of your degree will include practical elements, such as real-life animal case studies which give you the chance to work closely with our industry partners. Placements – both compulsory and elective – allow you to take your learning out of the classroom and into the real world. Industry experts will present lectures and workshops throughout your degree, giving you first-hand insights into your future. You'll graduate with experience under your belt and the foundations of a strong professional network.
