Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Surgery

About this programme

Veterinary medicine is a hands‑on profession, so your training should be too. This five-year degree gives you early and continuous experience with live animals, real clinical environments and a broad mix of small animal, farm animal and equine practice. With two start dates (September and April), world-recognised accreditation and a unique network of clinical associates instead of a single teaching hospital, our vet school offers one of the widest and most varied experiences in the UK. From the beginning, you’ll work with a full range of species, including companion animals, livestock, horses, wildlife and exotics. You’ll learn using modern facilities at our Sutton Bonington campus, including a clinical skills lab, on-site farm, stables for student-owned horses, exotic animal care facilities and the Peter Rubin Centre, a mock veterinary practice designed to build confidence before entering real clinics.
