Combined Degree Programme UCAS Code: D101
Institution Code: RVET R84

What is the Combined BSc/BVetMed programme?

The Combined BSc/BVetMed programme is a full-time 6 year undergraduate programme taught at our Camden and Hawkshead campuses.

An exciting curriculum by design

The curriculum is inspired by the LIVE Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning - the only centre of its kind in a British veterinary school. We have taken a fresh look at how we can bring together technological change, clinical and scientific progress, and stimulating teaching and learning methods.

A science and research-based approach

The combined degree covers the same subject areas in animal health and disease as the BVetMed programme, but tackles these from a different research-based perspective, which will enrich your understanding of clinical science in later years. It extends the preclinical science required for entry to the clinical years of BVetMed over about 2.5 years, allowing more space along the way for attendance at science seminars and events both in the RVC and elsewhere in London.

Hands on experience

As well as learning the latest theory and practice, you can expect plenty of practical ‘hands on’ experience, taught by leading experts in their field. The result is a unique degree course that will equip you for life for a range of veterinary careers.

What's next...

Hopefully this is just the start of your relationship with the RVC and we hope to meet you in the near future at RVC on tour, a UCAS Convention, an RVC Campus tour, an Open Day or at interview.
