But why should Canadians consider studying veterinary medicine in Australia? In this video, OzTREKK Territory Manager Sarah gives you the highlights of why Australia is a great choice for your vet school:

  • Limited seats in Canadian vet programs
  • Australia’s prestigious global reputation
  • AVMA-accredited vet schools
  • The ability to return to Canada to practice (you just need to write the same licensing exam that Canadian grads write)
  • Student support and hands-on learning
  • Beautiful climate, beaches, and cities

Sarah also gives you an overview of all three of our AVMA-accredited vet schools: University of Queensland, University of Melbourne, and University of Sydney. Whether you’re coming straight from high school or have already completed an undergraduate degree, you have options!

About Australian Veterinary Programs

The veterinary programs featured here hold full American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) accreditation This means that graduates are considered in the same category as graduates from North American veterinary schools when undertaking licensing examinations in North America. Graduates of these programs are eligible to sit the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE) along with graduates from AVMA-accredited veterinary colleges in the United States and Canada.
