Our Veterinary Sciences programs are located at Northern College’s beautiful Haileybury Campus in the state-of-the-art Veterinary Sciences Centre.
Our programs are designed to give you an extensive amount of practice and real world experience working with domestic, laboratory and farm animals.
Whether you’re looking to become a Veterinary Technician, Animal Groomer or to specialize in rehabilitation for wildlife or pets, we’ve got you covered. Learn in our state-of-the-art facilities where you’ll have access to the latest in veterinary technologies and real animals, giving you an extensive amount of practice and real-world experience.
Learning takes place in our purpose-built Veterinary Sciences Centre, a facility designed to support immersive, career-focused education. Among its specialized spaces is a newly developed necropsy suite that enhances student learning in anatomy, pathology, and post-mortem examination techniques.
Through partnerships with local shelters and animal services, students also gain experience providing care to animals in need. They perform nursing procedures, administer vaccinations, assist with spay/neuter surgeries, and support rehabilitation—ensuring each animal is healthy, well-socialized, and ready for adoption.
With frequent, meaningful access to animals throughout their studies, our students graduate with the confidence, skills, and practical experience needed to thrive in a wide range of animal care settings.
Our programming is layered to allow students to receive multiple qualifications, including specialized care for wild animals and companion animals, which you can only get at Northern College. You will not find such a strong and unique combination of expert-level training elsewhere!
