The Bristol Graduate Entry BVSc is an accelerated, four-year veterinary degree. The first two years are delivered primarily through case-based, tutor-facilitated teaching and learning. This is a distinctive student-led approach that sets the programme apart from other graduate entry programmes in the UK.

In the bespoke first and second years of the course you will study the integrated structure and function of animals, principles of disease, clinical veterinary science and professional studies.

Years three and four will integrate with the final two years of our five-year BVSc Veterinary Science degree, and you will further develop your skills in clinical sciences and professional studies.

Bristol Veterinary School at Langford is a rural campus boasting first-class clinical facilities alongside farm animal, small animal and equine practices on site, allowing you to gain experience of working on first opinion cases on farms and in clinics.

As a new course, launched in 2019, the course is undergoing the normal process for accreditation with the following 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

Accreditation is due in 2021 and will apply for all graduates of the course. All of our veterinary science degrees are currently awaiting accreditation from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), which will set our graduates on the path to practise veterinary medicine in the US and Canada.
