Our six year Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBChB) degree equips students with the knowledge, understanding and skills required to become a Foundation Year 1 doctor. It includes an intercalated degree in the third year, training our students to become research leaders of the future. 

Introducing the MBChB programme

The Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (BVM&S) degree is widely and internationally accredited, allowing you 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 science. Both pathways lead to a BVM&S.
