Animal and Veterinary Sciences Development Plan
The Animal and Veterinary Sciences Endowment Fund was established to build upon our world-leading research with investment in teaching, research and facilities; and further develop opportunities for training generations of general practitioners and clinical specialists in compassionate and evidence-based veterinary care.
An education in animal and veterinary sciences at the University of Adelaide prepares graduates to make a significant contribution to the health and welfare of animals and the sustainability of human society.Head of School, Professor Wayne Hein
