Veterinary Medicine (Graduate Entry) - BVMS

The University of Edinburgh

The Graduate Entry Programme (GEP) is a four-year Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (BVM&S) that will prepare you for many aspects of the veterinary profession. Graduating from this programme will make you eligible for registration with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), as well as international accrediting bodies. Subject to successful registration, you will be able to practice veterinary medicine in the UK and many countries overseas. The GEP offers a route to the veterinary profession for graduates with a first degree in a biological or animal science subject. You will study an accelerated Foundation phase curriculum over one year before joining the five-year BVM&S cohort for the Clinical phase of your degree.
