Veterinary Medicine & Surgery (with Foundation Year), BVMS

Foundation year degree courses are designed for students who have the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly enter their chosen Honours degree programme.

This course will give you an introduction to veterinary medicine and surgery while teaching you the skills and confidence you need to progress to an undergraduate course. Upon successful completion of your foundation year, you will have the opportunity to progress to our five year BVMS Veterinary Medicine & Surgery, or a related BSc (Hons) programmes.

This course is suitable for students from a wide range of backgrounds typically under-represented in veterinary medicine. Modules include foundational content to give a good underpinning knowledge of the sciences, critical thinking and animal husbandry. They are delivered to help prepare you to study veterinary medicine alongside sessions to help develop professional skills such as adaptability, problem-solving and communication.

This gateway course will introduce you to a range of veterinary and animal related careers, and is perfect if you don't have a science background or the usual academic requirements for these courses. We offer a reduced entry tariff for those who’s life experiences may have resulted in academic challenges. Visit our contextual admissions page for more information.
