Undergraduate

We offer two programmes leading to a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (BVM&S) degree, and which prepare our students for a career as a veterinary professional.

We offer a five-year degree for students with high school qualifications, and a four-year Graduate Entry Programme for students with a relevant degree. Both pathways lead to a BVM&S.
