A veterinary medicine degree in Ireland will give students an excellent base to begin their veterinary career, equipping them with the knowledge and ability to help with the surgical treatment and care of animals. Transferable skills will also help graduates move into food safety, research, and pharmaceuticals sectors.
A typical veterinary medicine undergraduate degree lasts five years, and modules generally cover anatomy and physiology, animal husbandry, microbiology, public health, parasitology and pathology. The program's first two years are the foundation phase, with the third and fourth clinical and the fifth professional.
Veterinary Medicine graduates are in demand. They will move into private animal welfare practices and work at charities, laboratories, abattoirs, and within the public health sector. If a student chooses to continue studying at the postgraduate level, careers can be forged in more specialist areas of the profession.
Entry requirements vary for each Irish university, but international students will need an IELTS score of 7.0 overall, no lower than 6.5 in each component, and an International Baccalaureate score of 36-38 points.
