Application Process

Key information about applying to one of our undergraduate programmes.

The Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine & Surgery (BVM&S) degree is widely and internationally accredited, allowing graduates to practise all over the world once qualified.

We offer a 5 year degree for students with high school qualifications, and a 4 year Graduate Entry Programme for students with a relevant degree in biological or animal sciences. Both pathways lead to a BVM&S.

Firstly, we assess your application on the basis of academic and non-academic suitability to the programme. Selected candidates are then invited to attend an interview and offers are made on basis of performance at interview. We do not offer deferred entry so you will need to apply by the September/October of year prior to your intended year of entry.
