The Royal Veterinary College's Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine (BVetMed) with Intercalated BSc Year is a full-time six-year programme which allows you to study the five-year BVetMed course plus an additional year completing an intercalated degree. The BVetMed course offers world-leading scientific and clinical training in veterinary medicine, leading to qualification as a veterinary surgeon. The additional year of study means that you will gain a more rounded education, additional scientific context, and carry out in-depth research to better your understanding. In your intercalated year, you can study a BSc course on offer at other UK universities, or one of two tailor-made intercalated courses at the RVC: BSc Bioveterinary Sciences and BSc Comparative Pathology.
