Open Day: Animal & Veterinary Sciences

When you choose a career in animal and veterinary sciences, don't expect a 'typical' day at work!

Animal scientists, technicians and vets explore animal physiology, nutrition, reproduction, breeding and welfare management, both in the lab and the field. Future scientists in the area will even use 3D imaging (accurate to within millimetres) to monitor livestock’s condition and optimise management decisions.
