More information
UQ's School of Veterinary Science has full accreditation with each of the major international professional veterinary education registration authorities.
In 2010, the School underwent its scheduled visit from the the Australasian Veterinary Boards Council (AVBC) and the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) and was granted full accreditation with both agencies for the maximum seven year cycle. This entitles UQ graduates to be eligible for registration in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Hong Kong and many other Asian and European jurisdictions. In 2012, the School received full accreditation for seven years with the American Veterinary Medical Association's (AVMA) Council on Education, meaning that UQ graduates are eligble to sit professional veterinary licensing examinations in the USA and Canada.
In line with AVBC and RCVS accreditation requirements, the School will again be reviewed in 2018. The School is working with the respective accreditation agencies with the aim of synchronising each accreditation cycle.

UQ is known as a university with diverse programs and great facilities - even in my country. Four years ago, I had a chance to visit UQ and was very impressed by the many differences in the study and research environment between Korea and Australia. The veterinary science facilities at UQ are excellent and I believe it would be hard for other universities to compete with that.
