About

Our Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc), is a 5-year (10 semester) qualification offered solely on the Manawatū campus in Palmerston North. The first semester (starting in February) is referred to as the ‘pre-selection’ semester. Depending on your performance in the pre-selection semester courses and selection assessments, you may be selected to the ‘professional phase’ (4.5 years long) beginning in July. Selection is competitive so it pays to come well prepared for the pre-selection semester. Make sure you work on your communication and interpersonal skills and get a good background in the sciences (including maths) before joining us.
