Course summary

Our veterinary course is highly rated by our students*. You will get hands-on with animals from day one and can choose when you start - September 2025 or April 2026. You'll learn theory and practical aspects of domestic, wild and exotic species, with clinical experience integrated throughout the course. Practicing with our Clinical Associates on your placement year ensures you learn a varied case-load of animals and treatments. Teaching is delivered through body system-based modules in years one and two, which integrate traditional medical subjects, such as anatomy and physiology. Topics are then repeated within a clinical module in year three or four. Uniquely, our courses have an integrated BVMedSci, saving you a year of study, tuition fees and living costs. This part of the course will help enhance your ability for continual learning and development in veterinary medicine through research.
