Veterinary Medicine

Veterinary Medicine at Cambridge gives you the core scientific knowledge and clinical skills needed to be a successful veterinary professional

Veterinary Medicine at Cambridge is special for several reasons. The relatively small size of the year group (approx. 70 students) means you will receive significant individual attention and build strong relationships with other students and staff. During the first three years, you learn the core scientific knowledge and skills, before continuing to three years of clinical studies at the Department of Veterinary Medicine. The third year of the course provides a unique opportunity to specialise in your choice of subject, typically (but not always) taken from the Natural Sciences course. More information about the course is available on the .
