A candidate for the Master of Veterinary Studies will satisfactorily complete units of study granting 48 credit points in supervised elective units of study.

The first stage of the application process is managed by the Sydney School of Veterinary Science and all short-listed candidates will be interviewed. Successful candidates who receive an offer from the Clinical Residency Program Director will be able to apply for admission to the program through the University's admission system.

The number of places and streams available are limited and will depend on the Clinical Residency Supervisors' current demands. Admissions to this program will open at the beginning of the semester 1 and 2 periods. Internal school applications will normally open four months prior to the start of each semester period.
