Career opportunities

You'll find opportunities in animal management and welfare within government and private enterprises, in both regional or metropolitan industries and settings. Employment opportunities in animal health and nutrition are increasing in Australian agricultural industries, as well as in the animal biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, especially within the biotechnology precinct in Melbourne. You may find work in research institutes, research centres and diagnostic laboratories, which are working hard to develop new technologies to support animal quarantine facilities and disease prevention. Or you may choose wild animal research and management.

This degree also provides an ideal preparation for further studies and entry into veterinary medicine, but does not qualify you to practice veterinary science.
