The School is widely accredited by international bodies, allowing our graduates to practise across the globe. As a school with a truly international outlook, we are accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE), the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), the Australasia Veterinary Boards Council Inc (AVBC) and the the South African Veterinary Council (SAVC).Accrediting bodyGrantedRegionAccreditor websiteRoyal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS)2022United Kingdom and ROI*RCVS websiteThe European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE)2016Europe**EAEVE websiteThe American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)2023USA***AVMA websiteThe Australasian Veterinary Boards Council (AVBC)2023AustralasiaAVBC websiteSouth African Veterinary Council (SAVC)2023South AfricaSAVC websiteFollowing the award of the degree of BVM&S, graduates can join the Royal College of Veterinary Medicine and receive a licence to practise veterinary medicine in the United Kingdom. Ireland *The RCVS and the Veterinary Council of Ireland (VCI) have a Mutual Qualification Recognition Agreement which allows for the continued recognition of each other’s accredited veterinary degrees. Anyone wishing to practice veterinary medicine in Republic of Ireland (ROI) are required to register with the VCI.VCI website Europe **The School is a member of, and approved by, EAEVE - but since the UK left the European Union in January 2021, UK veterinary degrees are no longer automatically recognised by EU member states. Each country in the EU/EEA will therefore recognise your UK degree based on their own rules and regulations, and some countries may require you to take further exams before you can work in their country. You should check the local rules and regulations in the country you are planning to work in after your graduation. A list of competent authorities within the EU is listed on the Federation of Veterinarians in Europe (FVE) website: FVE list of veterinary authorities by country North America ***To practise in North America, in addition to our BVM&S degree, graduates must pass the examination prepared and delivered by the National Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners. The School has an excellent record in preparing our students to pass the NAVLE and this makes up one of the factors considered by the AVMA in its consideration of the accreditation status of a school.
