Pathway to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine There are a number of ways students can progress into the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) at the University of Melbourne – one option is through the Bachelor of Science. Students wishing to progress into the DVM from the Bachelor of Science must complete the Animal Health and Disease major (Veterinary Bioscience specialisation) in third year.

Students apply for the DVM course during their second year for the start year intake of the DVM following completion of the Bachelor of Science. For example: a second year Bachelor of Science student in 2013 would apply in October 2013 for admission into the DVM for the start year intake 2015.
