Course Summary

The Royal Veterinary College's Graduate Accelerated Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine (BVetMed) programme is a full-time degree in Veterinary Medicine for biological sciences graduates, leading to qualification as a veterinary surgeon. The four-year programme enables you to supplement your existing skills, adding to the preclinical science information covered by a previous biological science degree. Note: If you wish to be considered for the five-year BVetMed programme, you will need to make a separate application specifically to that programme. You are welcome to apply to both the four-year and five-year versions of the course but note this will take up two of your choices on UCAS. You are able to apply to up to four veterinary medicine or medicine programmes on UCAS.
