Student involvement

Teaching is at the heart of what we do. Final-year veterinary students examine patients, discuss solutions with clients, and work with clinicians to resolve challenging cases.

By using our services, you are giving Massey students hands-on opportunities to learn.

What our students say

“Staff always take the time to explain what they’re doing and why they do it … when there’s a good case to learn from, they arrange for us be involved.”

“Farmers are always comfortable with us students asking ‘dumb’ questions, and they’re also very friendly.”
