Welcome from the Dean
</h2>
<p>
We’re excited to announce that the University of Melbourne is strengthening its cross-disciplinary teaching and research capabilities by aligning agriculture and food systems with veterinary sciences within a new combined Faculty.

<p>
The Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences means improved cohesion across our courses and a strengthening of our research capabilities. The new Faculty also encourages collaboration between our enthusiastic, passionate and like-minded academics across two complimentary disciplines. Our students experience cross-disciplinary teaching by specialised veterinary, animal production, crop and food science experts addressing complex environmental, economic and social issues.
</p>
<p>
When you study veterinary or agricultural science at the University of Melbourne, you do so not only at Australia’s highest ranked university but also within a Faculty that ranks with the best in the world.
</p>
<p>
Our courses are delivered from three campuses: Parkville (our main campus on the City fringe), Werribee (the site of our world-class Veterinary Hospital) and Dookie – a state-of-the-art broad-acre farm renowned for its teaching, research and technology development. Exciting new opportunities are being explored at the Dookie Campus across its teaching and research programs, helped by a $5 million investment by the University, government, industry and the community.
</p>
<p>
The University continues to expand the number of places in the Bachelor or Agriculture course, to meet growing industry and student demand.
</p>
<p>
Building on the success of the Pre-Vet Club, we are also excited to launch our Pre-Ag Club. This Club is for students in Years 9 to 12 and provides the opportunity for students to engage with the University and understand more about agricultural science and the wide-range of careers available, thanks to the agricultural boom in Australia.
</p>
<p>
I encourage you to explore our website and review the range of exciting and diverse courses on offer. There has never been a better time to join the Faculty.
</p>
