What is Veterinary studies?
Veterinary studies is a term that covers a range of courses and degrees in animal studies, specifically in relation to the care of animals, both domestic and agricultural. Many people wonder how to become a vet in Australia, and a short course is one of the best ways to get started.
Studying to become a veterinarian:
Many people choose a short course in veterinary studies because they dream to one day become a vet themselves. SO how to become a vet without the degree? Simply put, studying to become a vet at university is hard to get into, and hard to achieve. The veterinary science atar is consistently high, as with most science-based degrees. Before dedicating yourself (and your money!) to a full degree, you can complete one of many shorter-term veterinary courses or veterinary science courses in Australia to determine if this is something that you really want to do. Veterinary courses in Melbourne are particularly high in demand, so consider multiple pathways.
Veterinary courses and veterinary science courses:
- Certificate I – IV in Animal Studies
- Introduction to Wildlife Rehabilitation
- Certificate III in Animal Technology
Vet nursing:
Equally, vet nurse courses can lead to a rewarding career as a vet nurse, which is the perfect way to work with animals in the same environment as a vet without the years of study, but can also be a fantastic pathway option to a degree. Veterinary nurse courses are available all over Australia, and Vet nursing can be a lifelong career. There are also a number of short courses in veterinary nursing that aim to help you specialise in a specific area.
Veterinary nursing courses:
- Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing
- Short Course in Physical Therapy
- Short Course in Small Animal Nutrition
- Short Course in Orthopedic Surgical Nursing
- Short Course in Emergency Nursing
- Introduction to Veterinary Nursing
Careers as a veterinarian or vet nurse:
Working in the sphere of vet work can be incredibly rewarding, as you get to care for some of our best companions. Whether you work as a wildlife vet, with larger animals such as horses or in a local clinic, you can be assured that you will have a career that will never be boring! According to the ABC, the average vet salary in Australia is $75,000, but that number can alter depending on specialties or areas of work. According to PAyscale, a vet nurse can earn between $22-$28 an hour. Again, this can change depending on a variety of factors.
Anyone can work in the veterinary field, as long as you have a passion for the care and well-being of animals! If that sounds like you, browse our list of available short courses today to get started.
