Study a hands-on curriculum, designed in collaboration with our partnership of veterinary practices and scientific research institutes, where youll learn to meet the diverse needs of companion, production, equine, laboratory animals, and exotic and wildlife species. Access our multi-million-pound facilities, including our Veterinary Clinical Skills Centre and Veterinary Pathology Centre, to practise anaesthesia, catheterisation, dissection, perform a necropsy and more.

Learn from academics who are registered veterinary practitioners and researchers, in addition to a multidisciplinary team of veterinary specialists from our partner organisations.
On this course, created in collaboration with our partnership of veterinary practices and scientific research institutes, including Marwell Zoo, youll learn about different body systems, covering all common companion, equine and production animal species, in addition to wildlife and exotic species. In your first year, youll study topics that are fundamental to veterinary medicine, including anatomy, animal husbandry, cells and genes, physiology and the concept of professionalism, ensuring you have a solid foundation upon which to build the rest of your degree. During your second year, youll learn about epidemiology, infectious diseases, and pathology, using clinical case studies and a One Health approach. You will also gain more advanced skills in handling and restraint including clinical examination of the common domestic species. In your third year, youll delve deeper into clinical medicine and surgery, diagnostic techniques, pharmacology, scientific methods and evidence-based veterinary medicine. Youll also get the opportunity to work alongside a facilitator to conduct a scientific research project, critically evaluating protocols, data and literature.
