Excellence in teaching and research
Since its first intake of students in 1936, UQ’s School of Veterinary Science has been recognised for a sustained record of excellence in teaching and learning across the veterinary disciplines and the quality of its research.
We are ranked =38 in the 2022 QS World University Ranking in Veterinary Science and have international accreditation.
The School is based at a purpose-built site with first-rate facilities for teaching and research and access to horses, cattle, pigs and poultry.
Our new veterinary hospitals include a Small Animal Hospital and an Equine Specialist Hospital on the Gatton campus. We have dedicated, high quality teaching and clinical staff, including those who have been recognised through nationally accredited awards.
