Course Details

Veterinary Medicine and Surgery - BVM BVS with BVMed Sci

Course Description

This course comprises basic veterinary sciences and clinical subjects, delivered progressively in a clinically integrated programme, using a problem-oriented approach and providing you with animal experience from day one. The majority of your educational experience is provided in body system-based modules (eg Cardiorespiratory System, Reproductive System) each covering all of the common domestic, wildlife and exotic species. This allows you to gain an overall picture of the body system by integrating more traditional subjects, such as anatomy and physiology, and takes a problem-oriented approach which uses clinical material to inform you of the clinical relevance of basic veterinary sciences. Each module is delivered once as a veterinary science subject (during year one or two) and again as a clinical subject (during year three or four). Clinical education and experience is delivered in the lecture-free final year through Clinical Practice Modules which provide experience of all domestic species, livestock production systems, wildlife conservation and exotic animal medicine.
