About

Charles Sturt University’s School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences is located on Wagga Wagga Campus. Wagga Wagga is a city of approx. 56,000 inhabitants in New South Wales, and is the fastest growing inland city in Australia. Here you get to experience the real, rural Australia with kangaroos as a natural part of the local fauna. There is a train connection to the main city of Canberra, the nearest big city. Flights to Sydney or Melbourne take just one hour.

  • Agreement

    Students studying veterinary medicine can take from 4 to 13 weeks of their clinical studies* in the 10th semester at CSU. Most who travel to Wagga Wagga take a total of 9 weeks of pathology and equine and small animal clinics, and follow training in production animals at home.

  • Tuition fees

    Students travelling through the agreement are exempt from tuition fees.

  • Recognition of credits

    All clinical practice abroad that is pre-approved corresponds to practice at NMBU Veterinary College, week by week (1 week in clinic = 1.5 credits).

  • Visa, insurance and vaccines

    Enquire with the host institution about what kind of visa is required. Some universities accept that exchange students who will be in Australia for less than 90 days can travel on a normal tourist visa, others require a student visa which costs more.

    Visa application cost has increased greatly in August 2024 to AUD 1600.

    In addition to regular travel and health insurance, some veterinary schools require students to be insured under Professional Liability. Professional liability insurance purchased in Norway will not cover you abroad. In some cases, the host institution will buy the insurance for you. If not, you must purchase the insurance through the host institution.

    You must often be vaccinated against rabies and other diseases before you go on an exchange.
