Summary
Veterinary medicine is a rapidly evolving discipline, comprising a wide range of specialist areas. Research in veterinary medicine is directly relevant to the improvement of the health and welfare of domestic animal species and the protection of public health.
In response to the increasing requirement for support in developing advanced clinical skills, this distance learning programme is aimed primarily, but not exclusively at veterinarians in practice.
The modular, portfolio approach allows flexibility to meet the needs of the modern practitioner. The goal is to provide the skills and knowledge required to be highly effective practitioners and act as leaders and mentors within the veterinary community.
Our clinical services cover a great range of species - dog, cat, exotics, small mammals, zoo, wildlife, equine and livestock - and are among the most influential centres for clinical care in the UK. The School is the only UK veterinary school to have dedicated exotic animal and wildlife Services, and has an international reputation for providing veterinary education in these fields.
Courses completed from this fully taught portfolio may be used as credit towards the RCVS Certificate in Cattle, Sheep or Production Animal Practice, allowing students to exit with two qualifications. Some courses in small animal medicine may also be used towards the RCVS Certificate with details available on enquiry.
