The University of Adelaide has established South Australia’s first Vet School, at its historic Roseworthy Campus. The Vet School’s new facilities house the teaching laboratories for preclinical and clinical skills training.
The Veterinary Teaching Hospital will open in 2010, ready for students as they enter their clinical years.
The campus is located on a 1,600 ha property which includes a working farm. The rural setting allows excellent access to large animal species, as well as a full service teaching hospital and ambulatory clinic.
The first intake of students in the University's three-year B.Sc. Pre-veterinary Degree were enrolled in 2008 and, from 2011, there will be continuing places every year for the 3 year Postgraduate Veterinary Science Degree.
