In Australia, professional degrees can be undertaken either straight from high school at the undergraduate level, or after one has completed a university degree, at the graduate-entry level.
For professional degrees which train students to become veterinarians, students can study Veterinary
Medicine/Veterinary Science in Australia as either
- a Bachelor of Veterinary Science degree; or
- a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.
Melbourne's Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program is offered only to students who have already obtained an undergraduate science degree.
