Veterinarians are involved in a range of professional pursuits which service animal welfare, health and husbandry activities. In many of these fields, they are called upon to conduct investigations of varying degree and nature and submit reports of the findings to their employers. In addition, veterinarians carry out research which they present and write proposals relating to their work. The objective of the Reasearch project is to provide an opportunity to obtain the basic training required to meet the aforementioned demands placed upon veterinary graduates.A further aim of the project is to encourage individual learning and enhance the ability of problem solving and interpretation.
