Veterinary Medicine
Veterinary Medicine at Cambridge is special for several reasons. The relatively small size of the year group (approx. 70 students) means you will receive significant individual attention and build strong relationships with other students and staff. During the first three years, you learn the core scientific knowledge and skills, before continuing to three years of clinical studies at the Department of Veterinary Medicine. The third year of the course provides a unique opportunity to specialise in your choice of subject, typically (but not always) taken from the Natural Sciences course. More information about the course is available on the .
Veterinary Medicine at Murray Edwards
Murray Edwards is extremely supportive to its veterinary students. We typically admit 4–6 undergraduates per year, which means we have around 16 pre-clinical and 16 clinical vets in the College at any one time. We have a highly experienced group of supervisors who are well placed to guide you through the course. The College also has a thriving Veterinary Society and several travel grants and awards that can be used to fund overseas veterinary placements.
