List of Courses
Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine Degree (BVetMed)
| The degree of Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine (BVetMed) is a five year degree programme which leads to registration as a veterinary surgeon. Students may opt to extend their studies for a further year and take an intercalated BSc. A holder of the BVetMed degree is entitled to practise providing they are registered as a Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (www.rcvs.org.uk). The BVetMed degree is recognised by the American Veterinary Medical Association as equivalent to those awarded by veterinary colleges in the USA. |

BSc(Hons) in Bioveterinary Sciences
| The BSc (Hons) in Bioveterinary Sciences, first offered in September 2002 (as BSc Veterinary Sciences), is intended for those interested in Animal Science at the interface between the basic biological sciences and clinical practice. The scope of the course content, with a clear focus on the domesticated species, sets it apart from more general degree subjects like zoology or biology. Graduates from this course will be highly qualified scientists who will be well equipped for a range of careers in animal biological sciences, including biotechnology, the pharmaceutical industry, veterinary-related industries, and biomedical research. |

Foundation Degree in Veterinary Nursing

Students will therefore enjoy the best of both worlds—a strong practical training in essential nursing skills, underpinned by the academic excellence of the RVC. | Foundation Course Degree detail Three Year Course |
