Clinical scholarships
The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies provides a number of postgraduate training positions.
Senior Clinical Scholar (resident)
Senior Clinical Scholarships (residencies) are typically three year posts and lead to obtaining a specialist qualification. We currently run residency programmes in the following:
- Equine Orthopaedics
- Equine Medicine
- Equine Soft Tissue Surgery
- Veterinary Anatomic Pathology
- Veterinary Clinical Pathology
- Diagnostic Imaging
- Cardiology
- Oncology
- Exotic Animal/Wildlife Medicine
- Canine Internal Medicine*
- Feline Internal Medicine*
- Dermatology
- Small Animal Surgery
- Veterinary Anaesthesia
* While these residency programmes focus on either Canine or Feline Internal Medicine, they include sufficient access to the opposite species to ensure they comply with ECVIM guidelines.
More specific details about each residency programme are available when we advertise the vacancies.
Junior Clinical Scholar (internship)
These are year long positions and are suitable for recent graduates.
We currently offer four Rotating Junior Clinical Scholarships in the Hospital for Small Animals. The scholarships provide support for our referral services and out of hours emergency care for our first opinion services (dog, cat and exotics species). These posts offer a suitable initial training programme for those considering a residency in a number of clinical areas. These posts are usually advertised in February/March of each year.
Successful candidates will:
- be a member of The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (MRCVS)
- be required to provide specified documentary evidence of good written and spoken English skills if English is not their first language
Senior Clinical Scholars will also:
- be at least two years qualified
- have completed a rotating internship or have equivalent experience
Tuition fees are paid by the School at the University's current rate for home students. Applications from non-EU citizens can be considered, but they will be required to pay the difference between home and overseas fees.
