Why Murdoch?

alternative entry paths for students from non-traditional academic backgrounds. We also have an adaptable undergraduate degree structure, so you can broaden your qualiﬁcations (and your choice of careers) by taking a double-or even a triple-major.

Murdoch is one of the leading research universities in Australia. Our research work has national and international relevance which, in turn, informs and strengthens our teaching programs, keeping our students at the leading edge of their disciplines and aligned to current and future industry needs.

At Murdoch, the combination of double majors is limited only by your imagination! You can choose to combine majors across Faculties for a totally unique degree. Why not take Psychology with Marketing? Hospitality and Tourism with Public Relations? Forensic Science with Criminology? Or how about Finance with Cyberforensics? In many cases, you can still complete your degree in just three years and with little extra cost! At Murdoch, ﬂexibility is what we’re all about. The new AU$35 million Institute for Immunology and Infectious Diseases (IIID) at Murdoch University is partially funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and provides state-of-the-

art facilities to continue research into preventing and reducing the impact of diseases worldwide, and to advance medical and scientiﬁc knowledge. 3

What our students say

Jessica Seebauer USA “I will always remember the drive, passion and commitment of the academic staff members… they inspired us to serve the community and the profession with enthusiasm and integrity. Murdoch is the perfect size - small enough to be cosy and personable, but big enough to support diverse clubs and interest groups. It’s perfectly located - 10 minutes from the beach and the city”.

Daniel Gahleitner Austria Neils Becker Germany “I enjoy studying at Murdoch… the highly motivated Murdoch staff are inspiring. On top of that, I really love being part of a university that provides a wide variety of courses for students and a great teaching structure that allows students to have adequate time between studies and break.”

“I chose to come to Perth for one year, to enjoy studying in a fantastic environment of nice climate and great travel opportunities along the beautiful coastline of WA. I also met great “Aussies” and made new friends from all over the world through Murdoch community events. My study opened great professional opportunities for me… Murdoch is deﬁnitely the right choice.”

Dhananjay Pradhan Republic of India Karin Larsson

Sweden

“My exchange semester at Murdoch University was truly amazing! I especially appreciated the nearness to the sea and the lovely town of Fremantle. While studying, I felt that my lecturers really had a great interest and knowledge in their ﬁelds of teaching. They also showed that they cared about their students’ professional success.”

“Murdoch’s sprawling, leafy-green campus makes you forget that you are just a little while away from the bustle of the city… the super friendly, approachable faculty makes studying easier. The primary reason I chose Murdoch was its consistent ﬁve-star rating for Graduate Satisfaction from the Good Universities Guide. I am glad I chose Murdoch ... it’s amazing how everyone ﬁts in here.”

Nguyen Vinh Trung Vietnam “The academic experience at Murdoch has been excellent. The professors are people with great skills and knowledge and the quality of a Murdoch education is very high. The enthusiasm of other students as well as my Professors has made me even more motivated in my study.”

Wichan Khonthothong Thailand “I like the atmosphere at Murdoch because the local students are very friendly. Murdoch University is looking after international students well and the facilities here are very modern. I have found Murdoch to be the best university for me and I’m sure that the qualiﬁcation I’m working towards will allow me to get a good job in the future.”

Daniel Wilson Zimbabwe “Murdoch is fantastic in that their degrees are flexible… it is very reassuring to know if you get into the course and find you don’t enjoy it quite as much as you thought you would, you still have a number of options and can slip seamlessly into an area or field more suited to your enjoyment or strengths.”

Songhua Shan P.R. China “The university provides a range of quality services such as training in English, computer (including poster and powerpoint) and academic research skills, individually-oriented management, a ‘relaxed’ learning, interactive environment and multicultural atmosphere. When I graduate, I will not only have an internationally recognised degree but also gain a different and global perspective.”

Ahmad Tauﬁk Indonesia

Singapore “When I decided to study overseas, Murdoch was the ﬁrst university I thought of, as it has an excellent reputation for educational standards and quality. The atmosphere and staff in Murdoch are welcoming and pleasant. Lecturers and Division Heads are more than willing to help you in whatever way they can. I am proud to be a student of Murdoch!”

“I chose Murdoch University because it allows me to work towards a better future in a globally competitive research program… It is also very hard to obtain a world-class and affordable education in Australia, but I have found this at Murdoch University. I am sure that studying at Murdoch University is the best choice for everyone.”

Murdoch Campuses

South Street campus

Campuses

The South Street Campus covers 227 hectares, which comprise a farm, three secondary schools, a lifestyle village, numerous Cooperative Centres of Excellence, corporate facilities and of course, the University itself.

The Campus is set in a beautiful bush environment, with Bush Court being the hub of the Campus, providing many shady spots for outside tutorials or quiet study opportunities. Buses run regularly between Perth and Murdoch University, and Fremantle and Murdoch University. Trains also run from Murdoch Station to Perth city regularly and the journey takes just 11 minutes.

Rockingham campus Rockingham Campus is located in close proximity to the Rockingham Beach Foreshore, which is filled with cafes, cycling and skate paths and plenty of shady grassed areas overlooking the beautiful beach. The Campus is situated in the heart of a seaside metropolis in an environment where staff and students work closely together to achieve student goals. Students benefit from ongoing access to our highly qualified academic and general staff. Travelling from the South Street Campus is as easy as jumping on the trains from Murdoch Station which run regularly throughout the day. The Rockingham campus is located 45km or 30 minutes by train from the Perth city centre.

Perth Western Australia

Four times the area of Texas, Western Australia is Australia’s best kept secret. The State covers one-third of the Australian continent, spanning over 2.5 million square kilometres (1 million square miles) and several different climatic zones. This State is famed for its brilliant blue skies, warm sunny climate and white sandy beaches. It is a land blessed with some of the world’s most precious natural phenomena including the dolphins of Monkey Mia, the 350-million-year-old Bungle Bungle range and the towering Karri forests of the SouthWest. Perth, the capital city of the State, is

Discover Perth, Western Australia

home to 1.6 million people and enjoys more hours of sunshine than any other capital city in Australia. Sophisticated yet uncomplicated, the lifestyle is relaxed and based outdoors.

The city sits on the Swan River, where residents enjoy ﬁshing, windsurﬁng, sailing or simply relaxing with friends for a barbecue in the sun. There are wineries, beaches and bushland within easy reach of the city, and a cosmopolitan mix of cafes, restaurants, pubs and thriving nightlife in the city centre.

Perth is a sister city to San Diego, and the people of Perth enjoy a cosmopolitan outdoor lifestyle due to the fact that the climate is one of the best in the world! Summers are long and warm, so the locals take advantage

destinations including Bangkok, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Soon after you arrive at Murdoch, you will be given the opportunity to start exploring Perth and Fremantle on excursions organised by Murdoch’s International Student Liaison Team. The Perth city centre is located approximately 20 minutes by bus from the Murdoch Campus, or 11 minutes by train and a short walk or connecting bus ride.

In downtown Perth city, a large shopping district offers a wide variety of cafes, restaurants, upscale boutiques, department stores, Australiana and duty free shops for you to enjoy. Out of the downtown area, the suburbs also provide excellent shopping, especially in the open-air markets on weekends. You might like to take a cruise up Perth’s Swan River to the wineries for a delicious lunch, or explore Kings Park, a preserved bushland area ﬁve minutes from downtown Perth. Bicycle riding is a great way to get around, as the city has bicycle routes from the city, around the river, to Fremantle and the beach.

The port city of Fremantle (nicknamed ‘Freo’), which is just 10 minutes by bus from Murdoch University, has a rich mix of cultural diversity and maritime history. Fremantle was made famous during the 1987 America’s Cup and has retained much of its old-world charm with Victorian and Edwardian architecture. Residents and travellers alike visit Fremantle to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the markets, entertainment and restaurants. Travelling around Perth by train and bus is very simple, and Murdoch University is accessible by both. In fact, Murdoch Station is just an 11-minute train ride from the Perth City centre. The Circle Route bus passes Murdoch University and goes through many areas of Perth and is widely used by Murdoch students.

Year 1 units The Biological Sciences degree at Murdoch University has established an enviable reputation over the past 30 years. Its reputation for excellence is built around its interdisciplinary nature, which ensures that students receive broad training and experience in animal and plant biology, ecology, genetics, biochemistry and microbiology, so that graduates are well equipped to tackle the complex problems that arise within the ecosystem. The course adopts an integrated approach to the major themes of biology, from the molecular and cellular level to the whole organism and ultimately to the community. As well as the breadth provided by this interdisciplinary approach, by choosing appropriate elective units in their degree, students in Biological Sciences may elect to emphasise areas of special interest to them such as animal biology, plant biology, biochemistry or microbiology.

Biological Sciences and Biotechnology

*Note that in some cases taking a second major may affect the duration of the degree.

Biotechnology is an applied, multi-disciplinary science, which focuses on developing biologically-based products or processes. Biotechnology applies the techniques and scientiﬁc principles of microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology and chemical engineering to industry, medicine, agriculture and to the environment. As such it utilises genetic engineering, fermentation and chemical separation technologies to develop new biological processes of commercial importance. Biotechnological processes include beer, wine and cheese making; the utilisation of bacteria and algae to produce drugs, hormones, antibiotics and enzymes; the production of diagnostic medical kits and antibodies; the generation of energy through the biodegradation of waste materials; the use of micro-organisms to clean up oil spills or to extract minerals from ores; and the use of genetic engineering to increase agricultural productivity of both plants and animals. The major provides broad training as well as in-depth study in selected areas, so as to generate graduates capable of operating in an interdisciplinary environment. Areas studied include genetic engineering, immunology and vaccine production, fermentation technology and cell culture. All students in the Biotechnology major are encouraged to obtain on-the-job training in industry, which may be achieved through a Professional Placement.

Associated with the School of Biological Sciences and Biotechnology and located at Murdoch University is the Western Australian State Agricultural Biotechnology Centre (SABC) – one of the largest and most research-active Centres for agricultural biotechnology in Australia.

Biotechnologists may gain employment in pharmaceutical companies, in the food and drug industries, in research and diagnostic teams in hospitals, in biotechnology companies, in agriculture departments and in university and government research centres. Some graduates have found employment in the legal ﬁeld as patent attorneys, while others have become sales managers in scientiﬁc equipment and pharmaceutical companies.

As a result of its age and isolation, Australia and in particular Western Australia, has evolved many unique animal and plant species. It is essential that these be conserved not only for their innate worth and aesthetics and their value to the ecotourism industry, but also to preserve a vast genetic library - the result of billions of years of evolution - that provides a vital resource for the rapidly developing areas of molecular biology and genetic engineering.

The course is designed to produce graduates who understand the extent and consequences of biodiversity loss and who have the necessary training in ecosystem management, ecology, genetics, evolutionary biology and conservation, to provide objective scientiﬁc data and professional advice to resource managers and policy makers.

The course also provides hands-on experience in modern analytical techniques associated with the detection of legal and illicit drugs and homicidal poisons including gas chromatography, HPLC, NMR and mass spectrometry. The course integrates thorough training in biochemistry, including aspects of drug metabolism with case studies chosen from a wide range of forensic areas. Opportunities are also available to participate in a professional experience program, focusing on crime scene investigation with the Western Australian Police (WAPOL).

Forensic Biology and Toxicology careers The establishment of a national DNA database and the increasing emphasis on the monitoring of blood and urine samples for residual alcohol and drugs has seen a signiﬁcant increase in employment opportunities for forensic biologists and toxicologists, particularly in government Health Departments and in analytical laboratories. The techniques of genetic analysis and analytical chemistry are highly transportable and graduates can also expect to obtain employment in hospitals, research organisations such as the CSIRO and in medical research centres, agriculture departments, food processing companies or in the pharmaceutical industry. Graduates have found employment as Crime Scene Officers with Police services and as Forensic Biologists with Health Departments.

Molecular biology is concerned with the art and science of genetic engineering. Manipulating genes used to belong to the realm of science ﬁction, but no longer. Transferring genes from one organism to another to enable a plant, animal or bacterium to manufacture special substances has become of immense importance to medicine, agriculture and industry. The techniques of molecular biology, which also allow the identiﬁcation of genetic changes (mutations), are of increasing importance in medical diagnostics and in understanding the molecular basis of cancer. The techniques of molecular biology are also applicable to plant science and to forensic science. More recently molecular biological techniques have been applied to the area of conservation biology to help in the control of feral animals and to develop disease resistance in endangered species.

Accounting is an integral part of the management process in any business or public enterprise. It acts as an evaluation and control aid when looking at the effectiveness and efficiency of the operations of an enterprise, as well as employee performance. It provides information to assist users in making decisions for a variety of purposes, including the acquisition or sale of shares, lending of money and provision of goods on credit. In addition, accounting helps managers, owners and investors to look after the assets and investments of the organization over the latest ﬁnancial reporting period. Capital investment and strategic decisions also use data produced by the accounting process.

In the Banking degree, the student is exposed to the issue of information asymmetry that exists between the borrower and the lender and the need to design contracts that reveal and monitor the quality of the borrower. The degree also considers the nature and legal implications of the banker-customer relationship. The high debt that ﬁnancial institutions have in their capital structure, the interest sensitivity of their assets and the liquidity that depositors demand results in unique interest, credit and liquidity riskmanagement issues. Government regulation and directives further complicate these issues.

Whether students are interested in government or private enterprise work, completion of the Business Law major will allow for an appreciation of relevant legal principles applicable to many important areas of business. Increasing regulation of business means professionals need legal knowledge that equips them to make informed business decisions and to recognise the need for further speciﬁc legal services. The major aims to include contemporary and relevant business law for this use. The Business Law major provides an attractive complement to majors in accounting, ﬁnance, management and a range of other specialist business studies.

Banking careers Completion of the Banking major will open up employment opportunities for students in all types of ﬁnancial institutions.

Organisations manage their marketing activities to create customer satisfaction by building value relationships. Marketing Management identiﬁes customer needs and wants, determines which target markets the organisation can best serve, and develops and manages the appropriate products, services and strategies to satisfy that market. Studying Marketing Management provides students with an understanding of marketing theory by practical applications of the marketing exchange processes using Product Development and Planning, Pricing Strategies, Integrated Marketing Communications and Distribution Channel Management.

Marketing Management careers Students are often surprised to ﬁnd how broadly applicable marketing can be to a variety of occupations. Marketing is relevant not only to manufacturing companies, wholesalers and retailers but to every organisation. Lawyers, accountants, physicians and management consultants are increasingly using marketing ideas to expand their practices. Anyone involved in an exchange process would beneﬁt from a unit in marketing.

Jessica Seebauer Sports and Family Chiropractor USA Jessica Seebauer grew up on the East Coast of the United States and admits Perth is about as far away from home as she could possibly get. Jessica chose to study in Perth as she had been to WA before and knew that she would be able to enjoy an easygoing lifestyle and be close to the beach, the city and the great outdoors. Jessica completed Murdoch’s dual degree in Chiropractic Science (Bachelor of Science in Chiropractic / Bachelor of Chiropractic) in 2006. She then joined an established practice in the Fremantle area where she had gained work as a receptionist during university. Jessica has since gone on to ﬁnish her International Chiropractic Sports Science Diploma. Jessica also serves as the Secretary for the Chiropractors Association of Australia’s Western Australian branch and has recently had an article published by the Chiropractic and Osteopathic College of Australasia (COCA) Journal. When asked about her experience studying at Murdoch, Jessica says, “I will always remember the drive, passion, and commitment of the academic staff members… they inspired us to serve the community and the profession with enthusiasm and integrity.” She goes on to say, “Murdoch is the perfect size – small enough to be cosy and personable, but big enough to support diverse clubs and interest groups. On top of that, it’s perfectly located – 10 minutes from the beach and 10 minutes from the city.”

Rohan Mishra Lawyer - Senior Associate, Clayton Utz, Perth Australia Rohan Mishra graduated with a Bachelor of Laws (First Class Honours) / Bachelor of Asian Studies (Japanese) from Murdoch University in 1997. A year of Rohan’s degree was spent studying in Japan to complement his study in Japanese language. After graduating, Rohan received the British Council Chevening scholarship to complete a Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) at Oxford University in the United Kingdom. Upon graduation from Oxford, Rohan was offered a job with a leading UK international firm, Allen and Overy LLP, working in the area of project finance. Rohan spent over five years with the firm, working in London, Tokyo and on a variety of projects all over the world. Rohan returned to Perth in 2006 with his family and is currently working as a senior associate with law firm Clayton Utz in the area of banking and finance. Rohan chose to study at Murdoch because it was smaller than the other universities in Perth, which allowed him to have much more contact with his lecturers. Rohan says, “My best memories of Murdoch are the lecturers who were not only there to answer questions arising from what we were studying, but also acted as mentors to many of us coming through. I was encouraged by them to pursue my interest in doing a masters and working overseas. The fact that many of the lecturers had international backgrounds meant they were able to talk to us about working as a lawyer on the international stage and not just in Australia.” Rohan goes on to say, “As an international student I believe Murdoch can provide a topquality law degree, as many of us who graduated from Murdoch have gone on to work in international firms, as well as study at top-tier universities around the world.”

Derrick Lui Creative Director, Vogue Films Singapore Derrick Lui graduated from Murdoch University with a Bachelor of Arts (Screen). Today, he’s the Creative Director of his own TV production house, Vogue Films. His short film Colours, a nine-minute production about a colour-blind girl who comes across a pair of magical glasses, was named Best Film in the Made By Adults For/About Children category at the Australia-based Auburn International Film Festival For Children and Young Adults. Colours has also been screened at the New York Film Festival, the Singapore Season in Beijing, Salento International Film Festival in Italy and Rhode Island Film Festival in the US, garnering plenty of accolades along the way. The most important tribute to his artistic excellence is perhaps his short film’s nomination by the Singapore Film Commission as one of its entries in the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. Derrick decided to study at Murdoch because he had always wanted to study film, and Murdoch was one of the more prestigious universities in this field and one of the closest to Singapore. Today, Murdoch has the most up-to-date media production facilities of any Australian university, but in Derrick’s time the studio was small and filming equipment was somewhat out of date. Derrick took this as a challenge and ended up obtaining valuable basic skills that peers in other universities did not have. Derrick says, “The curriculum was very practical and relevant in preparing me for real filming work. My advice to potential students considering Murdoch University is, choose it, you won’t go wrong!”

Murdoch History students learn the key skills of research, writing, analysis and presentation, plus written and verbal communication skills. The History major offers three broad areas of historical inquiry, in which History majors specialise: • Cultural History – with an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural focus on the histories of Australia, Europe, South-East Asia and the United States. • Regional History – with a focus on the history of modern nation states. • Thematic History – with a focus on important international themes in history. History at Murdoch aims to introduce students to the history of those regions and themes that are essential to the understanding of modern Australia and its place in the world.

History careers The discipline of history – the rigorous examination of surviving evidence and the critical testing of ideas and theories against that evidence – provides a uniquely valuable form of intellectual training with a wide range of occupational applications. The study of history promotes generic and applied skills (literary, analytical and communicatory) necessary for success in a wide range of occupations in business, industry, government and education. A degree in History is an international passport for all forms of employment where rational and informed decision making is required and the wisdom gained from knowledge of past experience is an asset.

The study of philosophy does not always offer answers, but instead teaches us how to ask good questions; without a good question one does not know what counts as a good answer, or where to look for a good answer! This kind of study develops our critical and rational faculties, instils a positive sense of impartiality and fairness in considering the views of others, and fosters a cautious, reﬂective attitude toward those things whose comprehension may exceed our current opinions and beliefs.

Philosophy careers In today’s work environment, ﬂexibility of mind, strategic thinking and solid education are in high demand. Philosophy graduates are attractive to the employment market, especially if they have studied philosophy in combination with another degree. Jobs in philosophy are wide ranging and include: business management, primary and secondary schools, youth work, social welfare and public service, where the ability to organise and analyse data and to draw clear, sound judgements are highly valued.

Hana Schoon Singapore “Undergraduate life at Murdoch freed up some time to pursue my interests and explore Australia. I nailed that driver’s licence, took dancing classes, did an open water diving course off Rottnest Island and went on road trips around WA. During the winter break, we travelled the Eastern States of Australia. I enjoyed sitting in the various lectures during the ﬁrst two week of school – Politics and Women’s Studies were top favourites. At university, it was refreshing to be treated as an equal, not just a student. The lecturers encouraged different viewpoints, however alternative they were. They were happy to answer any questions we had, were quick to respond to emails and were always open to discussions after class. The one thing they all had in common was a friendly openness and a contagious passion – it’s hard not to be involved in even the driest subject when the person in front of you has so much enthusiasm for it! In between classes, we loved to bask in Bush Court, enjoying warm sunshine over a salad from the nearby refectory. Some of my best memories are of the simple things there – enjoying a latte, devouring a book, or going through my lesson notes before the next class. Sir Walter’s cafe (basement of the library) was another great hangout. It later proved very conducive for project discussions or the last-minute cramming over Red Bull too!”

Politics and International Studies are related ﬁelds of study, which involve the critical evaluation of contemporary political issues. Politics focuses on the examination of the ways that countries are governed, how power is distributed in society, and how and why governments vary in their stances on such issues as individual and minority rights, environmental protection, and economic management. International Studies examines the interaction of national governments and the effects of international governing bodies (like the UN, IMF and WTO). One of its central issues is globalisation – including its impact on economic development and its effects on ethnic and regional communities.

It deﬁnes security broadly to incorporate the protection of individuals and their values, norms, rules, institutions and property from military and non-military threats. It explains terrorism as a threat to security, but suggests a multiple approach to the ‘war on terror’, involving diplomacy, development, capacity building and military force.

Security, Terrorism and Counterterrorism Studies careers Graduates of this course will be excellent candidates for recruitment into the intelligence services, as well as in the Departments of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Defence, DIMIA and the AttorneyGeneral’s Office.

Biomedical Science applies the principles of cellular and molecular biology to the understanding of normal function and disease in humans and other animals. Graduates will possess a comprehensive understanding of the basic health sciences. Students develop a high standard of problem solving, communication and professional skills, in addition to academic and pre-clinical skills. Biomedical Science is a ﬂexible and responsive degree focusing on careers in the expanding research and development industries of Australia. Knowledge of the triggers of disease may include viruses, bacteria, parasites and other microbes or be genetically based. Students learn the diagnosis, mechanisms, and prevention and/or treatment of disease, including, for example, vaccine development. Knowledge may be sought in the disciplines of physiology, biochemistry, immunology, molecular genetics, pathology, microbiology, parasitology, pharmacology, and anatomy. Biomedical Science graduates from Murdoch University have been successful in gaining admission to graduate medical schools.

Polly Cocks Murdoch University Research Ofﬁcer, World Organisation for Animal Health. Southeast Asia Foot and Mouth Disease Campaign Ofﬁce, Bangkok. United Kingdom Murdoch Veterinary alumnus Polly Cocks always wanted to see the world, so following her 2005 graduation, the recipient of the University Medal for outstanding academic achievement couldn’t wait to hit the road. Polly says, “After graduating, I was keen to gain life experience and work in private practice, so I returned to the UK, my birthplace, to spend a year in mixed practice. This provided me with a valuable professional foundation for my current job. During my time living and studying in Perth and making short visits to Asia, I developed a desire to pursue a career involving international work. So I feel very fortunate that the opportunity arose to work for Murdoch University in Bangkok and to continue as a PhD student. I am employed as a research officer by the University in the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), Southeast Asia Foot and Mouth Disease Campaign Office in Bangkok. I facilitate an AusAID project into the control of the foot and mouth disease in Malaysia, Thailand and Myanmar.” Foot and mouth disease is a highly contagious viral infection of cloven-hoofed animals such as cattle, goats, sheep and pigs. The other element of Polly’s job is to build linkages between Murdoch and other organisations and educational institutions in Thailand, as well as acting as a contact for Murdoch staff and students if they are in the area. Polly will soon begin a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program with Murdoch on the topic of foot and mouth disease control in Malaysia, Thailand and Myanmar.

Veterinary Science is a major health profession, with its own system of education, registration, organisation and ethics. Close liaison with veterinarians in private practice, government departments, consultants and owner-breeders has successfully established Murdoch University’s reputation as a leader in teaching and research in this area. The Veterinary Science course at Murdoch is consistently rated as the best in Australia.

Admission Requirements A degree of Bachelor of Science is awarded after the successful completion of the ﬁrst two and a half years and is a prerequisite for entry to the ﬁnal two and a half years that lead to the degree of Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (BVMS). The School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences has only two prerequisites for admission:–tertiary-level Statistics and Cell Biology (introductory biochemistry); although Chemistry is strongly recommended. However, past experience has shown that students are best prepared for the course if they have a science background, for example, fundamental competency in Mathematics, and either Physics or Biology. Introductory-level Animal Biology and/or Animal Physiology courses are also recommended. However, students with other educational backgrounds are also considered for entry into the course.

• Private veterinary practice, dealing primarily with health and production problems in companion and production animals. • State and federal government department disease control units in vital areas such as epidemiological, regulatory and quarantine services, and in veterinary research. • Veterinary public health, especially in the meat, dairy and ﬁshing industries and including quality control in food production, the prevention and control of animal diseases communicable to humans and aspects of environmental pollution. • Industry, especially testing and marketing veterinary drugs and animal feeds. • Teaching and research in tertiary institutions.

Professional recognition The ﬁve-year course of study leads to a registerable professional qualiﬁcation in veterinary medicine. Graduates are eligible for registration, without further examination, in Australia and many overseas countries, including Great Britain, New Zealand, Singapore and Malaysia. The course received full accreditation in 2003 by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). Graduates are eligible for registration in North America and Canada upon passing the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination.
