Course Description
Choose a course that's dual-accredited and gives you an exceptional student experience - with the highest overall student satisfaction in the National Student Survey (NSS) since 2010 (National Student Survey 2010-2021).
Our veterinary courses are accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS). We're also one of only two UK veterinary schools that are accredited by the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE).
The preliminary year is ideal if you don't have the required science qualifications for our five-year veterinary course, but have the required grades in non-science, vocational subjects, or extensive experience.
There's a combination of lectures and practical classes and you'll study integrated modules that show how basic science subjects interlink.
Topics include biology, animal care and behaviour. You'll also study some chemistry and mathematics to prepare you for the main degree programme.
Most of your learning will take place in our purpose-built veterinary school, where you'll have access to:
- anatomy and clinical labs
- a surgery and dissection suite
- lecture theatre and small-group teaching rooms
- research facilities
- animal facilities such as kennels, stables, exotic pet rooms and sheep and pig housing
You'll also use specialist facilities, including:
- the University Farm
- the Centre for Dairy Science Innovation (CDSI)
- a paperless Super Lab
After completing your preliminary year you'll automatically join our five-year veterinary medicine and surgery course.
