Undergraduate courses
Our commitment to delivering a unique style of veterinary education is reflected in our ‘One Health’ approach to human and animal science and our mission to educate veterinary professionals who will meet the needs of a changing world.

The clinical teaching that is integrated throughout the course has been of much benefit, with practising vets during extramural studies (EMS) placements commenting on both my clinical knowledge and practice skills for my stage of study.Jodie Brisset-Topping, Veterinary Medicine and Science MSci (Hons)
Placements
In the final year we immerse our students in the very environments that they will enter into, to ensure that they develop the knowledge, skills and attributes required to successfully transition to life as a veterinary graduate. The year consists of 32 weeks/eight months of intramural rotations (28 weeks of core rotations and four weeks of electives):
- Small animal general practice 1 (four weeks)
- Small animal general practice 2 (four weeks)
- Small animal referral practice (four weeks)
- Equine general practice (four weeks)
- Core elective (four weeks spent in either one of the following species: small animal, equine, productions or veterinary public health and pathology)
- Production animals (four weeks)
- Special interest electives (four weeks).
Our fully distributed model of workplace-based clinical education is the first of its kind in the UK.
