Introduction
The programme is designed to equip you for the veterinary industry, studying in a supportive environment with industry professionals. Throughout the course, you will be taught a wide range of science-based subjects, vital in developing your knowledge of companion animal nursing within diverse topics including anatomy and physiology, analytical techniques, professional skills of the veterinary nurse, anaesthesia, pharmacology and animal behaviour. You will learn through a combination of formal lectures, laboratory sessions, animal handling and clinical practicals, along with guided and independent study.
Work placements are key to your professional development and benefit from the University Centre’s strong links to diverse organisations within the veterinary and animal professions. To meet RCVS clinical placement requirements you will spend a minimum of 1800 hours in veterinary practice in a year placement.
We also offer students the chance to participate in optional overseas study tours including the Shamwari Conservation Experience in South Africa and LAST Conservation in Costa Rica
