The Graduate Entry Programme (GEP) is a four-year programme. It allows graduates with a relevant first degree in a biological or animal science subject to attain a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (BVM&S) degree and register as a veterinary surgeon. Graduation from this programme will make you eligible for registration with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS). You will then be able to practice veterinary medicine in the UK.

Entry Requirements for Advanced Entry are not listed for this Course.

A 2:1 honours degree in a biological or animal science subject. Subjects studied MUST include Biology/Zoology, Physics, Biochemistry, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry and Mathematics/Statistics at C or better. Genetics, Microbiology and Cellular Biology, at C or better, are also strongly recommended. Deferred entry is not considered. All candidates applying for the Graduate Entry Programme must submit a copy of their transcript showing subjects and grades achieved to date. The transcript should be submitted by 22 October. All International and EU applicants, whose first language is not English, must sit an English proficiency test prior to application. The School has a substantial number of North American candidates applying for both the four and five-year BVM&S degrees. Candidates from North America who are set to complete an appropriate biological or animal science degree will be considered for the four-year programme. Canadian applicants should have gained high grades in the science subjects throughout their first degree. US applicants should have an overall minimum grade point average of 3.4 (4-point scale), with greater than 3.0 in completed science courses. Scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test are required (use institution code 0917 and department code 0617). The deadline for GRE scores to be submitted is 1 October. All North American graduate applications should be made through the Veterinary Medical College Application Service (VMCAS) on the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges website. All North American high school graduate applicants should apply via UCAS. There are usually 60 places for graduate applicants each year. Competition for places is therefore intense. The majority of applications are from candidates of high academic calibre. Unfortunately, meeting the minimum academic entry requirements does not guarantee an offer. Each application is considered individually. Academic qualifications play an important part in the selection process but close attention is also given to non-academic factors, including work experience, motivation, interests and attainments. An interview forms part of the selection procedure for all offered places. We will consider late applications from graduate and international applicants for both the five-year and four-year degree normally up until 15 November each year. However, before making a formal application, you should contact us. Detailed entry requirements, including typical offer levels, and information about other qualifications we accept, are available on the University of Edinburgh’s website. You’ll also find important information on how to apply. You must submit a fully completed UCAS application that includes details of the qualifications you are taking, including full predicted grades for qualifications not yet completed, your personal statement and your reference.
