Are you interested in the scientific work that leads to advances in medicine?
The BSc Open Day is open to anyone who is interested in a career in animal-related science. Parents, teachers and careers advisers are also welcome to attend.
Members of staff will be available to discuss aspects of the BSc(Hons) Bioveterinary Sciences (D300); the entrance requirements; and the teaching and research facilities. In addition, current students of the RVC will take you on a tour of the London campus and provide a first-hand account of student life at the RVC.
Please note: the BSc Bioveterinary Sciences Open Day is only for those students interested in studying this degree programme.

Undergraduate Courses featured at our Open Day
The three-year BSc Honours Bioveterinary Sciences (UCAS Code D300) is intended for students interested in Animal Science at the interface between the basic biological sciences and clinical practice, and prepares graduates for a wide variety of post-graduate careers related to the animal biological sciences and animal welfare.
The five-year BVetMed degree course (UCAS code D100) and the six-year combined BVetMed/BSc course (UCAS Code D101), both lead to a degree qualification entitling the holder to practise as a veterinary surgeon. The six-year course is designed for students with a keen interest in science as well as veterinary medicine, and graduates are awarded a BSc degree before completing the BVetMed.
The Veterinary Gateway course (UCAS Code D102) is a one-year course available to students from non-selective schools who are members of the Widening Participation cohort. Successful completion leads to a place on the five-year BVetMed degree course.
The three-year Foundation Degree Veterinary Nursing (UCAS Code D310), and the four year BSc Honours Veterinary Nursing (UCAS Code D313), both provide a strong practical training in essential nursing skills. Staff will be available to give advice and guidance on veterinary nursing and other careers involving working with animals.
