Qualification Requirements
The professional phase of the BVSc is essentially vet school. It starts in Semester Two (mid-July) at the Manawatu Campus. There are usually more applicants than the number of places available in the professional phase (domestic students 3-4 times, international students 2 times), so there is a selection process. Selection is competitive, so make sure you come prepared.
If you are selected into the professional phase, over the next 4.5 years you will take courses which cover everything needed to become a qualified veterinarian. Please refer to the Courses and Planning tab to see the courses in the professional phase. The Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc) is a five-year degree divided into two phases:
Pre-selection phase (a minimum of one semester). Entry into the pre-selection semester is open to anyone who meets the Massey University admission requirements.
Professional phase (9 semesters 4.5 years). Entry to the professional phase is by selection based on academic performance, non-academic performance, and relevant experience. Academic IELTS - 6.0 overall and minimum 5.5 in each band, TOEFL IBT Overall score 80, minimum 19 in writing, TOEFL Paper Based 160.
