There are several excellent undergraduate programs offered by the Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences ( http://ivabs/undergraduate.asp) with the veterinary degree – Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc), and the Bachelor of Veterinary Technology (BVT) being the main veterinary industry related programs. There are also several animal related Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of AgriScience programs available.

Years 1 and 2 of the BVSc focus primarily on instruction in the core medical sciences tailored for veterinary students to learn normal form and function. In year 3 classes help the student recognise abnormality and introduce clinical studies. Year 4 focuses on the medicine, surgery, health management, diagnostics and treatment of companion and agricultural animal species. The fifth year is a semi-tracked clinically based year. Each student will choose a track from the following options: small animal, production animal, equine, mixed animal, or other areas as approved (i.e. wildlife, research). All tracks share a core of 18 weeks of clinics covering all species areas, Then depending on the track a further 7-9 weeks will be prescribed. The student will then have a further 7-9 weeks where they can choose to do externships (within New Zealand or overseas), or further clinics at Massey University. The semi-tracked, individualised final year curriculum allows students to further explore their area of interest while ensuring wide coverage of the main veterinary species.

'''<big>Postgraduate</big>'''
The Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences have a comprehensive range of Postgraduate level qualifications in Veterinary Science, Animal Science and Biomedical Science at Postgraduate Diploma, Masters and PhD level. There are about 80 PhD candidates from all over the world engaged in research in a wide range of topics including epidemiology of disease, public health, infectious disease and parasitology, pastoral production systems, animal behaviour and welfare, and wildlife health. The Master of Veterinary Medicine (MVM) programme enables veterinarians in practice to continue their education beyond their primary veterinary degree. The MVM programme is a professional development programme delivered by distance education. The Master of Veterinary Medicine (Biosecurity) and Master of Public Health (Biosecurity) degrees are purpose-built training programmes with a shared epidemiology foundation delivered to specific target audiences in Asia. These courses are principally delivered online but also include regional workshops and events. The Master of Veterinary Studies (MVS), Master of Veterinary Science and master of Science are delivered on campus. These programmes can be modified to suit individual requirements. The Institute has over 300 post-graduate students and many of these are international students.
