Postgraduate research in the School of Veterinary Science is largely based on the Langford campus, which houses a large number of research groups together with Langford Veterinary Services and the University farm. The strength of the School's research programme is greatly enhanced by its position within the Faculty of Medical and Veterinary Sciences. Our research extends from the fundamental to the applied and we collaborate with other research groups in the Faculty and beyond, building on a policy of integration of basic science with veterinary activities. Our postgraduate students are members of the Faculty of Medical and Veterinary Sciences Graduate School and greatly benefit from the training opportunities this provides. We welcome enquiries and applications from prospective MSc and PhD students.

We recruit both veterinary and basic science students to our postgraduate programme and this may impact upon subsequent careers. Many of our graduates go on to pursue academic roles in universities performing a range of research, teaching and clinical roles. Other graduates have been recruited by research institutes (e.g. BBSRC), government bodies (e.g. Defra) or industry (pharmaceutical, animal feed etc) where they perform research and advisory roles. A number of veterinary graduates now perform specialist clinical activities in veterinary practices.
