Comparative Pathology (Intercalated) UCAS Code: DB16
Institution Code: RVET R84

Postgraduate destinations

From the data collected thus far, it would appear that the majority of the students who take the Intercalated Veterinary Pathology programme go on to further postgraduate studies, either before or after time in practice.
