The Bristol Graduate Entry BVSc is an accelerated, four-year veterinary degree taught primarily at the Langford campus. Situated in rural North Somerset, a short bus ride away from the vibrant cultural hub that is Bristol city centre. Students can enjoy the onsite café, gym, student barn and abundant green spaces, alongside our much-celebrated welcoming and supportive community of staff and students. Bristol Veterinary School is home to a range of extensive facilities including new purpose-built anatomy and post-mortem facilities, an award-winning clinical skills lab, a dairy farm and Langford Vets multidisciplinary small animal referral hospital, farm animal and small animal practices, and diagnostic labs, with an equine practice nearby. You will also benefit from access to our celebrated team of clinical demonstrators, who will nurture you to develop confident practical skills. We partner with other organisations to ensure students have ample experience across a wide range of species, such as opportunities to work in equine hospitals, the charity sector and with exotic species. Bristol Veterinary School holds accreditations from the following professional bodies:

  • The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)
