The Bachelor of Veterinary Nursing is an extension of the New Zealand Diploma in Veterinary Nursing (Companion Animal) programmes.
First Year: You can learn the fundamentals of animal nursing, with lots of opportunities to put theory into practice within select clinical environments.
If you have already completed the New Zealand Certificate in Animal Technology (Veterinary Nursing Assistant), you automatically meet the entry requirements for the second year of the Bachelor of Veterinary Nursing (dependent on placement numbers).
Second Year: you’ll have the opportunity to gain registration as a veterinary nurse, and develop technical skills and medical knowledge through practical experience to become an effective veterinary nurse within a professional team.
If you have already completed Unitec’s New Zealand Diploma in Veterinary Nursing programmes, you would automatically meet the entry requirements for the third year of the Bachelor of Veterinary Nursing.
Third Year: You’ll take your learning one step further by extending your research and critical thinking. You can also choose to work on a real-life research project for a veterinary nursing organisation in Aotearoa New Zealand or overseas.
Highlights
You’ll have lots of work experience; in your first two years you’ll complete at least 750 hours of work experience, and you can also extend this in your third year
You’ll have the opportunity to do your placements in interesting organisations ranging from the New Zealand Centre for Conservation Medicine at Auckland Zoo, to a specialist veterinary hospital, to your community first opinion veterinary clinic.
You’ll build advanced technical skills through a significant amount of clinical practice at your choice of external clinics across Aotearoa
You’ll develop an advanced understanding of what’s considered best practice in a clinical environment, and the ethical and welfare implications of veterinary care
You’ll have opportunities to conduct a supported and collaborative research project in an area of your interest
You’ll learn from experienced lecturers who are knowledgeable in veterinary medicine /science, animal health and welfare, microbiology, genetics, and animal behaviour
You’ll benefit from a varied learning approach that includes practical sessions, group work, online/small group tutorials, and one-on-one supervision
