A Guide to Studying Veterinary Medicine Abroad
Overview
Understand the benefits
Studying veterinary medicine abroad pushes you into experiences that are impossible to replicate back home, making it one of the most memorable parts of your career journey. Here’s what you can expect:
- Real-world problem-solving. Different countries face unique veterinary challenges, like tropical diseases or wildlife-human conflicts. You’ll learn how local vets handle these, which builds your adaptability and clinical confidence.
- Connections across borders. Networking with international veterinarians, researchers, and conservationists gives you global contacts and exposure to new career paths.
- Cultural adaptability. Working in diverse environments helps you learn local customs, languages, and problem-solving techniques that make you a more flexible and culturally aware veterinarian.
Things to know
As you start planning your veterinary studies abroad, here are some must-know details to keep things on track:
- Check academic requirements early - Every country has different standards, so confirm your coursework matches up—especially if you’re aiming to transfer credits back home.
- Language basics are key - Even if you don’t need fluency, knowing basic terms and phrases (especially for medical contexts) can make a huge difference. Some programs might even require a language test.
- Get the right visa - Depending on where you go, you’ll likely need a student visa, which can take months to process. Plan well in advance to avoid surprises.
- Health clearances and vaccinations - Some destinations require vaccinations or health certificates, especially if you’ll be around livestock or wildlife. Check these requirements and schedule appointments early!
- Flexible program durations - Many vet programs abroad offer a range of options, from short intensives to full semesters. Think about your goals and timeline to choose what fits best.
Locations
Your choice of destination shapes the species you work with, the ecosystems you’ll explore, and the style of veterinary practice you’ll learn.
Costa Rica
If working with animals like sloths and toucans in the rainforest sounds exciting, Costa Rica is your spot. You’ll get real-world experience tackling conservation issues and helping with wildlife rescues. It’s hands-on, it’s tropical, and it’s a chance to work with some of the world’s most fascinating creatures.
Australia
Australia is where you’ll get up close with animals you’ve probably only seen on TV—koalas, kangaroos, and even the elusive platypus. From wildlife clinics to Outback rescues, you’ll get training that’s hard to match anywhere else. Australia’s programs are serious about exotic and wildlife care, making it unforgettable.
South Africa
South Africa is the place if you want hands-on experience with some of the planet’s most iconic wildlife. You’ll work directly with rhinos, elephants, and lions, often on game reserves where conservation is critical. You’ll see the realities of anti-poaching work and wildlife health management in action, gaining skills in handling large animals and supporting conservation teams who work tirelessly to protect them.
Getting Started
Preparing for studies abroad can feel like a handful, but don’t let that hold you back! Here’s a solid plan to make sure you’re fully prepared for your vet studies abroad.
1. Get matched
Use the GoAbroad Online Advisor to narrow down programs that match your specific interests and goals in veterinary medicine. You’ll get personalized suggestions to help you focus on the best options.
2. Choose a program
With a MyGoAbroad account, you can save and compare your top programs side-by-side to find the best fit for your career path and learning goals.
3. Decide when to Go
Think about what each season has to offer so you can pick the best timing for your experience:
- Summer. Best for short, immersive programs that go full throttle on hands-on wildlife care, perfect if you’re ready to jump right in.
- Fall. Cooler weather is ideal for fieldwork, and it aligns well with academic breaks, making it easier to fit into your school schedule.
- Winter. Tropical locations are less crowded in winter, so you’ll have a better chance of getting involved with local projects while seeing plenty of wildlife action.
- Spring. This is breeding season in many areas, giving you hands-on experience with young animals and access to seasonal conservation projects.
4. Funding & scholarships
Complete the GoAbroad Scholarships & Deals Application to get matched with scholarships and funding opportunities to support your study abroad.
5. Apply
Once you’ve picked your program, just head to the program page and click "Inquire Here" or "Apply Now." A program coordinator will guide you through each step, from paperwork to preparing for your studies abroad.
6. Get your essentials
As you get ready to go, make sure you’ve covered these essentials:
- Passport and visas - Ensure your passport is up-to-date and check what visas are required for your destination.
- Flights - Look for student deals on flights and transportation to keep your travel budget-friendly.
- Insurance - Set up travel and health insurance to cover all your needs while you’re abroad.
With these essentials squared away, you’ll be set for a smooth start to your studies abroad.

Life Changing
July 16, 2026by: Breanna Gotch - United StatesMy experience studying abroad in Molise Italy was absolutely life-changing. I learned so much about culture, made lifetime, friendships, and endless memories. Getting to experience the culture and beauty of Molise was the absolute highlight of my summer.
Grazie, Breanna! Colli really is beautiful and it's such a great partnership!
Incredible experience!
July 03, 2026by: Maggie Hernandez - United StatesThe Molise Italian Studies program was a wonderful way to be immersed in the Molise region, some of the Puglia region, and Rome. By visiting some of the smaller, lesser-known areas in these regions, I got to see firsthand how people live, work, and support their communities through the activities and social work experiences. I can say I grew as a person and have a new outlook on my everyday life at home. It was evident that Italians in these regions value community and connection. I appreciated the opportunities to participate in activities at some of the agencies, such as at LAI and in Capracotta, rather than simply observing the activity. Our tour leader, Andrea, was kind, patient, organized, and knowledgeable throughout the entire trip.
Grazie, Maggie! We are so glad to hear this trip made such an impact on you, and we can't wait to hear about your plans moving forward!
So much fun!
July 02, 2026by: Alex Santoro - United StatesI had an absolutely amazing time; I made so many incredible memories that I truly won't ever forget. The friendships I made were so awesome, and the opportunities to experience true culture were life-changing. Both of my professors were absolutely wonderful, and our guide was incredible. Everyone was so amazing and truly tried their best to give us the most rewarding experience possible, and they exceeded my dreams.
Grazie, Alex!
Wonderful, meaningful trip!
July 01, 2026by: Jen McLaughlin - United StatesMyself and my colleague brought a group of ten university students on a trip with Molise, and we could not be happier! Our guides were knowledgeable and kind. Every single person we encountered along the way as we traveled was welcoming and gracious. So many laughs were shared amongst our students and the Italian community, and we never once felt as if we were not in steady, capable hands with the company. Upon returning home from Italy, we immediately arranged our next trip with Scott and Megan, and plan to continue this trip regularly to allow students to continue to experience all the amazing things our first group did.
Thank you, Jen! Looking forward to working with Wilkes again in 2027!
Abroad Dreams Come True
July 01, 2026by: Cialyn Floyd - United StatesAs a student who dreamed of going abroad for years, I never considered a trip like this would be at my fingertips. Many know that traveling abroad is a big decision because it involves location costs return of investment and with being in school of the timeline of when it’s going to happen. I decided to make my minor Hotel restaurant management sophomore year of college, but wasn’t sure of how I was still going to make my broad dream come true. Fall semester of 2024 when I was in one of my HRM studies I wondered what options there could be to study the subject abroad. That’s when I discovered the Molise Italian Studies program NAU in Italy: Economics of Gastronomy. After promptly siding up, I was introduced to a fully guided program with pre-arrival meetings that fully explained the details and necessary precautions of going abroad. Which included an itinerary of the daily activities the lessons that would be focused on and places of accommodation. All details, which transferred extremely well into the actual trip. Each lesson was fully in depth and offered different opportunities. My favorite day was probably the day we visited Di Iorio Tartufi - Italian Truffle where we learned how truffles were safely found and made into a meal. I came home with at least 5 jars!! I highly enjoyed the environment, the greenery, and absolutely the delicious assortment of truffle products. At the end of the day, this program offered me a week of excitement and verity of locations across molise. I couldn’t have asked for a better program to introduce me to the world of traveling.
Grazie, Cialyn! So glad to be a part of your HRM journey (& we dream of truffles too)!
Boss semester
June 27, 2026by: Ezra Bradford - United StatesProgram: Study Abroad Semester Program
I had a pretty great semester at UL. I thoroughly enjoyed the classes and the professors, but also learned a lot about myself and the Irish people. I joined the Christian Union pretty early on and was welcomed into fellowship with that group. I accompanied some friends of that group into smaller towns I may not have otherwise visited and helped lead churches playing piano. I was welcomed into homes and I really felt loved. I also got to see much of the countryside and felt it easy to travel around to sight see. My time in Ireland is a time where I grew in knowing myself but also my understanding of the world. I loved learning Irish traditions, culture, and history, and I know that I could never know nearly as much by staying home.
I had the most amazing experience!
June 24, 2026by: Mekenzie Moffet - United StatesI have had the best experience and will recommend that everyone apply and try to come on this study abroad trip to see for themselves. It was worth the money 1000% with memories that will never go away and new friends for life. Everyone I've met on this trip has been super nice and welcoming, students and staff alike. This trip is also pretty unique as for it's independent nature, being able to go explore everywhere myself has been super invigorating.
Scotland Equine Study Abroad
June 24, 2026by: Roselynn Orr - United StatesThis month has transformed me as a person and has led me to enjoy the simple things in life. I appreciate the morning riding sessions, classes with low-stress teaching style's and being around so many new people. Scotland and the city of Edinburgh are beautiful, but I would warn future students that it can be very costly and timely to travel, even to Edinburgh. You will need to budget more than what is recommended to get the full experience and learn how to use the buses and trains once you arrive. SRUC is not in the city, so it's important to learn how to travel, etc. Overall, the scenery is beautiful, peaceful and I've met lifelong friends. I would recommend this program to any horse lover.
Amazing Study Abroad
June 24, 2026by: Madelyn Considine - United StatesMy experience was one of a kind and I loved every little bit about this experience. The campus, the staff, fellow students, and the horses were amazing and made my time abroad even more exciting. I had not ridden in 7 years before coming here and rode western when I had. I am so amazed by the amount I have learned from the staff and the horses. I am leaving knowing how to trot in English saddle and do a dressage pattern. The academics part was so hands on and fun to learn. Getting to learn all the systems, muscles, and bones on a horse was probably my favorite part and I cannot wait to use it in the real world back in the states. I got to immerse myself in the Scottish culture by going to towns and cities throughout Scotland and appreciate Scotland's beautiful landscape. Also, I was able to take a trip to London and Dublin that was so much fun! I loved this experience so much and I will be grateful forever for all the friends I have made!!
More Than Life Changing
June 24, 2026by: Alyssa Jastram - United StatesStudying abroad in Scotland has made me look at life differently. I knew it would be life changing but its impossible to know how until you've experienced it. I've been able to go through this experience with the most wonderful group of girls who have been nothing short of supportive. The sixteen girls I've bet through this program will be friendships that will last a long time because we have bonded in a way different than most people. Being able to go out and do our own thing has really made this experience more personable and that's where a lot of the self reflection comes in. I've never been one to get home sick and this experience was no different. The difference though, is in the past I've always been ready to go home after time spent away. That is not the case after staying in Scotland. The staff at SRUC have been amazing and helpful. They expect us to apply our learning and try our best, but they are approachable and helpful. They know all of us by name and really prioritized the opportunity to know their students, even if we were only here a month. The Scottish people have been extremely nice and the areas are safe even when in the cities like Inverness and Edinburgh. The Scottish people are also proud of their culture and want to share it with others. This aspect made me feel very welcome and supported. It was so nice to be able to leave all my worries behind and actually be able to enjoy my time here. I was worries about that in the beginning because I had a hard couple of months before leaving for Scotland, but I am hoping I can bring the joy I've found in this wonderful place with these wonderful people back home with me to the states.
Lifelong friendships and experiences!
June 24, 2026by: Elizabeth Craddock - United StatesDuring my time abroad in Scotland, I have made lifelong friends and memories that would not have been made otherwise. I put myself out of my comfort zone and traveled out of the United States alone for the first time while living with 15 other girls who I had not met prior to this trip. With this trip being pretty independent, I was able to travel to lots of different cities and a country, such as Edinburgh, Glasgow, Linlithgow, Uphall, and Dublin, Ireland while spending my time here. Everyone who works on SRUC's campus is kind, welcoming, and extremely helpful with any questions we had towards class information, assignments, things to do around Scotland, and more. They made me feel so welcomed while being on campus and I always felt safe, included, and wanted. Being able to ride during this program was also a huge highlight of my experience here. It made me feel more at home and provided us all a sense of comfort and familiarity. I would not have been able to be away from riding and horses for 4 weeks so this inclusion made my time here even more special. I met lifelong friends through this journey and am upset to leave them but so grateful for the blessing of this trip that brought us all together. Overall, I absolutely loved this program, classes, people, and Scotland and am extremely grateful to have been able to spend my month of June here. I will never stop recommending Adalente, SRUC, and Scotland to others and hope I can spend friends here in the future!
AMAZING EXPERIENCE
June 24, 2026by: Jessie Hoover - United StatesThis program was so fun and Scotland is an amazing country to visit. The equine summer program was very immersive and life changing. Getting to learn in a hands on way was probably my favorite part. I also loved getting to ride the horses every week, every single horse was amazing and it was so fun to get to know their personality's. The staff was so helpful and made the process very smooth. Everyone in Scotland was very nice and welcoming. Learning about the Scottish culture was a highlight of the trip and id 100% recommend.
Scotland study abroad summer!
June 24, 2026by: victoria reynolds - United StatesGetting the opportunity to participate in this amazing program has been one of the best and most unique experiences of my life. All of the people that I have met here have been nothing short of amazing and I know we have all made lifelong friends. I am so sad that the program is ending and I wish I had gotten a few more weeks to experience scotland. The classes were great and very interactive and the small size of the class made it easy to ask questions and collaborate as a group. The barn was beautiful and the horses and staff were amazing. I loved getting to ride many different types of horses and learn from a variety of people. I know that the time I have spent here has been life changing and I am not only going home with new memories and friends, but also a better version of myself that was all made possible through this program!!
Great Experience!
June 24, 2026by: Avery Stroud - United StatesI deeply enjoyed my time here in Scotland and had a blast with the horses and the girls in the trip. While I at first didn't realize how remote the campus was from main areas, we managed to make the best of it and still see a large amount of the surrounding areas. The staff were extremely patient, especially the barn staff who clearly cared deeply about both horse and rider well being. The academics were fun without being too much in a very short amount of time, and felt well structured and taught. The only issues were when a number of us got sick towards the end of the trip and had some difficultly getting medical care, but had a great staff who tried their absolute best! Overall, I enjoyed my experience but wish I had been more prepared coming in.
A very fulfilling and enriching experience
June 24, 2026by: Rachel Hanenkratt - United StatesI had the amazing opportunity to challenge myself academically and personally. The courses I took gave me valuable knowledge and practical skills that I can take back with me to complete my undergraduate studies in the states. In addition, the instructors were very helpful and accessible when needed. I was also able to make incredible friendships with girls all over the US while here, and we definitely made the most of our time abroad.

June 24, 2026by: Layla Strickland - United StatesThis was my first study abroad experience and first time out of the country so I was not quite sure what to expect. The staff were very nice and supportive throughout the experience, but more communication between instructors and meeting times/places would have been helpful.
I had an amazing time and made so many new friends
June 24, 2026by: brandy facemyer - United StatesI loved this experience so much it really taught me a lot about myself and just how much I enjoy traveling. I loved the horses especially and the professors were always very helpful and encouraging. Overall, would totally do it again. .
The Best Experience!
June 24, 2026by: Hailey Buzzard - United StatesThe equine science summer abroad in Scotland was a life-changing experience! I am so glad I did this program, and wish I could do it again and again! The campus was stunning, the lecturers were all wonderful, the coursework was engaging, the riding was fun, and the sightseeing was incredible! Coming on this study abroad was nerve-wracking for me, but everything went smoothly and I had the time of my life. I would recommend this program to everyone!
