Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Science - Accelerated Graduate Entry

Program Overview

Successful completion of our BVSc Veterinary Science: Accelerated Graduate Entry degree will entitle you to practise as a Veterinary Surgeon in the United Kingdom and several other countries. The qualification gained is equivalent to the North American Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and the course is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).

The Bristol Graduate Entry BVSc is an accelerated, four-year veterinary degree taught entirely on the Langford Campus. Situated in rural North Somerset, a short bus ride away from Bristol city centre, the Langford Campus has cutting-edge facilities to support student learning including new, purpose-built anatomy and post-mortem facilities, an award-winning clinical skills lab, a state-of-the-art small animal referral hospital and modern dairy farm. There are also farm animal and small animal practices on site, allowing you to gain experience of working on first opinion cases on farms and in clinics. 

Having launched in 2019, the course is undergoing the normal process for accreditation with the following professional bodies:

The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS)
The European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE)
The Australasian Veterinary Boards Council (AVBC)
The South African Veterinary Council (SAVC).
Accreditation is due in 2021 and should apply for all graduates of the course.

Please note this course has an early start date with term starting late August / early September.

Course structure
The first two years are delivered primarily through case-based, tutor-facilitated, small-group teaching and learning. This is a distinctive student-led approach that sets the programme apart from other graduate entry courses in the UK.

In the first and second years you will study the integrated structure and function of animals, principles of disease, clinical veterinary science and professional studies. This is all taught via case-based learning, complemented by lectures and practicals.  

The course integrates with the final two years of our five-year BVSc Veterinary Science degree towards the end of the second year and you will further develop your skills in clinical sciences and professional studies.
