The Master of Veterinary Studies is a internationally recognised veterinary degree, most suited to veterinarians who are focused on professional development and progressing their career. It takes place on the Manawatū campus only. Massey’s Master of Veterinary Studies can be built around your particular and personal academic needs. You may choose from endorsements in epidemiology, pathology, public health and conservation veterinary medicine, or develop your skills across any area of veterinary science by choosing a MVS with no endorsement. Within the MVS the range of research opportunities is wide and includes most fields of veterinary science from anatomy to animal welfare. There are a wide range of taught courses for you to choose from, depending on your area of interest and endorsement that you choose. These include pathology, epidemiology, parasitology, conservation medicine, surgery, medicine, physiology, ruminant livestock feeding, dairy, sheep, beef, deer or poultry production, animal welfare science and much more.
