==Education== <!----Write below this line--->

 

Currently we offer two undergraduate degrees: The [http://sydney.edu.au/vetscience/future_students/undergraduate/structure_bvsc.shtml Bachelor of Veterinary Science] and the [http://sydney.edu.au/vetscience/future_students/undergraduate/overview_bioscience.shtml Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Bioscience]. From 2013 the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine will replace the current BVSc degree as the Faculty’s professional veterinary training programme. It will be available either as a four year graduate entry programme (i.e. for students that already have a science-based Bachelors degree) or by undergraduate entry via the BSc(Vet Biol). The BSc(Vet Biol) will articulate with the DVM to allow students to complete both degrees in a minimum of six years (or seven years with Honours).<br />

==Research== <!----Write below this line--->

 

The faculty has a proud history of research in veterinary and animal science. In the first half of the 20th century we established the cornerstones of our research effort – animal health, animal husbandry, nutrition, anatomy and genetics. Today, we lead international, multidisciplinary programs in farm animal health, biosecurity, poultry and dairy science, animal genomics, advanced reproduction, animal welfare science, ecosystems health, tissue repair, veterinary education, companion animal disease and clinical service, to name a few areas of expertise.<br />

<br />

Presently, approximately 70 per cent of our research income is directed towards the health and performance of production animals. Wildlife research has become an area of intense interest and activity with a fantastic diversity of species now being studied. We also have a strong core of biomedical research and this has been reflected in the way that our research student graduates have been valued by leading medical research institutes, both in Australia and overseas. Our campuses at Camperdown, placed adjacent to the Centre for Obesity Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease (CODCD) development, and Camden, within the emerging bioscience precinct, provide the infrastructure required to study a diverse range of species in a laboratory, farm and clinical context.<br />

The Centenary year of the Faculty in 2010 was suitably marked by a number of occasions, including a Research Showcase, which was a successful display of the diversity and depth of our research capabilities. It seems fitting that the major developments in research on our doorstep should be happening at a time when we look to the future for the next century of research.

A full range of diagnostic pathology testing is performed on site at both hospitals by the Veterinary Pathology Diagnostic Services laboratories. Available tests include full haematology and biochemistry analysis and urinalysis, cytological analysis of fluids and fine needle aspirates, microbiological and parasitological testing, a hisopathology service and full post mortem examination service for all animal species. Professional and dedicated staff are available to assist clinicians in selecting tests and to discuss and help interpret results.
