The Hawkshead Campus is where veterinary medicine students are based for the final three years of their course, alongside veterinary nursing students and specialists-in-training.

The Hawkshead Campus is equipped with facilities tailored to deliver both the theoretical and practical elements of your course.

Let some of our students show you around... 

Academic facilities

The Hawkshead Campus houses modern lecture theatres and laboratories, a large library and learning resource centre. There are also a number of specialist centres on campus, including the Centre for Emerging and Endemic Diseases, Structure and Motion Laboratory, Clinical Skills Centre and Clinical Investigations Centre.

Student facilities

The Campus is considered self-contained, so you will find almost everything you will need, from our brand new Sports and Wellbeing Centre to a restaurant. There is an award-winning student village, a refectory and a large outdoor sports facility.

You will also find The Buttery, a campus bar for students to relax in after a day of study or clinical work, as well as Students’ Union facilities.
