Orientation Program
All students are encouraged to participate in the Orientation program activities.
The University provides an orientation program for all international students prior to and in addition to any Faculty programs
Pre-Veterinary students
Pre-veterinary students participate in the Faculty of Science program with later year Veterinary students acting as ‘student hosts’.
New BVSc students
Only students who are enrolled in BVSc 1 are eligible to participate. A detailed program is provided to each student along with enrolment information.

Welcome from the Dean
Academic Previews of first year subjects and general requirements
