We provide outstanding veterinary education at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, using an award winning curriculum, innovative teaching methods, and an interdisciplinary environment, for both our undergraduate and postgraduate students.
Our undergraduate courses are accredited by:
- The European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE)
The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies has Full Accreditation from AVMA. The last evaluation was in 2008, the next evaluation is scheduled for 2015.
In November-December 2010, 28 out of 30 students who sat the NAVLE (North Amercian Veterinary Licensing Examination) for the first time achieved a pass. In December 2009 - April 2010, all 36 students who sat the NAVLE for the first time achieved a pass.
The degree of Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (BVM&S) is the equivalent of the North American Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and has the same standing worldwide.

Research
Our research spans all aspects of veterinary medicine, from molecules and genes through to animal and human populations.
We aim to make a real difference through research which is directly relevant to the improvement of health and welfare of domestic animal species and the protection of public health.
Clinical excellence
Our clinical services - Hospital for Small Animals, Small Animal Practice, Equine and Large Animal Practice - are among the most influential centres for clinical care in the UK, providing our students and researchers with the best possible training environment.
