Bachelor of Veterinary Technology

Lead transformative animal care

Also known as para-veterinary health care specialists, veterinary technologists play a vital role in modern animal welfare. As well as providing high-level, hands-on veterinary care, including the use of anaesthesia and analgesics, they oversee the application of cutting-edge new veterinary technology.

Data-driven apps, wearable devices, telemedicine—a steady stream of advanced new tools is reimagining what’s possible in the clinical environment. As a veterinary technologist, you can ensure it delivers maximum benefit to animals’ health and wellbeing.

What will you do?

Our Bachelor of Veterinary Technology is part of the University’s world-top-50 suite of veterinary science and veterinary-related degrees*. Studied over three years full-time, it will give you:

high-level practical skills in caring for all kinds of animals—from cats, dogs and horses, to farm animals, wildlife and exotic pets
the ability to independently operate state-of-the-art veterinary technologies
training and experience in the use of anaesthetic and analgesic drugs
deep knowledge of animal diseases, including those threatening humans
extensive hands-on clinical experience
regular access to our world-class, $37 million Veterinary Health Centre.
In third-year you’ll also have the opportunity to specialise in: small animals; anaesthesia; imaging; equine; farming; or practice management. And you’ll collaborate with Veterinary Bioscience and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine students throughout the degree, reflecting real-world workplace interactions.

Where could it take you?

You’ll graduate ready to step straight into high-level animal-care roles in a wide range of industry settings. You could oversee imaging or anaesthesia services for a veterinary hospital or clinic. You might care for big cats in an open-range zoo. Perhaps you’ll train biosecurity emergency-response personnel. You could even support important animal research, or—with further study—lead it yourself.

PLEASE NOTE: International students will be able to apply for this degree for 2021 entry.

Job Opportunity Potential

There are three key steps you will need to take when addressing the selection criteria in any University of Adelaide job application:

Create a new document. Your statement addressing the position’s specified selection criteria should be separate from your cover letter and resume.
List each criterion separately. Give each a title, using exactly the same wording as appears on the Position Description (e.g. Excellent verbal communication skills).
Address each criterion. Under each heading, write two short paragraphs explaining how your experience, skills, education and training equip you to meet that specific requirement. Dot points are also acceptable.

Please note that failing to submit a statement addressing the selection criteria could result in your application not being considered.

Some helpful writing tips
There are a number of steps you can take when putting together your responses to increase their clarity and impact.

Give details of one or two specific things you’ve done that are good examples of the relevant experience or knowledge required. For example: ‘I was responsible for organising an event attended by… This involved…'
Preface these examples with a short overview that shows you appreciate the relevance of the specific criterion.
Quantify your experience (number of years worked, staff supervised, etc.). For example: ‘I delivered a presentation to an industry forum with an audience of 80 people.’
Where possible, indicate how successfully you meet the criterion. You could do this by referring to feedback from others, or things you've set up that are still being used. For example: ‘A report I wrote about… was endorsed by the… Committee and circulated to all stakeholders for discussion.

You could also consider using the STAR method as a structural framework when describing examples of your work. This involves describing, in the order listed here, the:

situation you faced
task required, and desired outcome
action you took to complete the task
results you achieved, and lessons you learned.
