About the course

As a vet you can contribute to society in a variety of ways. This can include serving the healthcare needs of animals, advocating for animal welfare, contributing to research, food production, conservation, innovation and business. In addition, you will play a central role in the health of human and animal populations (companion, wildlife, laboratory and production) and their environments. The University is one of eight Vet Schools in Europe to have achieved accredited status for its undergraduate programmes from the American Veterinary Medical Association. Veterinary Medicine at Glasgow is ranked 1st in the UK (The Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023).

　　The BVMS programme is based on integration of clinical and science subject areas and is delivered using a range of teaching methods. The spiral course structure means that you will revisit topics as you progress through the programme, each time with increasing clinical focus. In conjunction, there is a vertical theme of professional and clinical skills development to help you acquire the personal qualities and skills you will need in professional environments. Through individual, teamworking and student-centred active learning approaches, you will develop the skills required for lifelong independent learning.

　　As a graduate of Veterinary Medicine at Glasgow, you can register as a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (MRCVS). Along with the University’s accreditation by the AVMA, this means that our graduates can choose to work anywhere in the world, and the global opportunities are endless. The majority of registered veterinary surgeons in the UK are in general practice, which may be small animal, farm animal, equine or mixed. Our graduates are also employed in government service, dealing with investigation, control and eradication of important diseases. Others are actively engaged in food hygiene or in university teaching and research. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
