22 reviews for Royal Veterinary College, University of London

Good course hours, most lecturers are good at teaching, lots of time with tutors and support from them. Sometimes when watching lectures back, videos are not clear or sound staticky.

Loved meeting new friends, good distance from campus, room was a good size, Laundromat was not the best however.

Lots of work but great contact with animals

Feels like a family

I like The module based course and the lecturers are very supportive

All the bill's are included and the people I share a house with are nice. The location is really good

Clinical teach facilities fantastic. Biggest and arguable best small animal hospital in Europe. Expansion of teaching faculty too.

Plenty of support offered whenever I’ve needed it.

Great in person teaching. Sometimes online learning could be more balanced ... a mixture of interactive tasks as well reading, videos and individual tasks.

Cleaning has been improved because of COVID. There is plenty of equipment as this is required for such a hands on course. The Camden library is however very small.

Sometimes the emails sent are very generic and it feels as though the uni is simply covering all their bases. That being said there is support available if you know where to look.

The hours are long as we are expected to put in as many hours as a full time job by this is expected of such a content heavy course. The online learning is generally well planned and the Q&As help clear up any confusion.

There is plenty of discussion on future career prospects and people you can talk to to seek specific guidance from.

No

The two hospitals have high standards for equipment and facilities Never struggle to find computer space normally though the main hospital tea room is usually packed (pre covid)

Support is there, depending on what you need it can vary in quality.

Part online part in practice rotations

Most people go straight into a job, whether you did a science, veterinary or nursing course. The careers fayres are well attended. Not much uptake of careers advice but that’s because the courses directly link to a profession

Yes

They are satisfactory. However, the library is very small and the gym doesn’t have sufficient equipment.

Tutors don’t really offer any support and I’d say feedback is minimal. Counselling is there if you need it.

I think we have a good system whereby we have students who ask for our feedback in order to make improvements however perhaps there could be an area where people can leave feedback as opposed to questionnaires being sent as only some individuals respond to this.

The university is at a fairly good distance. I would say perhaps the information given originally was a little misleading as it takes 30mins when walking slowly and 20-25 of walking at a fast pace. All in all though yes I would say so.

There is a vast array of societies and sports to suite a wide range of different individuals. However, I think price is the main issue as I have met many individuals who cannot afford to do the things they love so perhaps there could be a way of making some societies more accessible.

I like how echo allows us to review lectures and go over bits we missed. I think it would be useful if perhaps we had access to a summary sheet of info for lectures and a quiz after each topic which focuses on the learning objectives that we could take as many times as we needed to help us see if we are on track.

During freshers fair one could sign up to wider veterinary organisations to be given opportunities to branch out e.g. in the workforce and gain experience and more applicable knowledge.

student-run bars on both campuses with cheap student drinks deals. good support from the su and variety of sports socieities

London's awesome. And that's coming from me- a country bumpkin at heart. Not as expensive as everyone makes out if you go to student nights. travel is so easy and pretty cheap

Lecturers of very high standards in terms of specialisms, and a lot of contact time per week in form of lectures, group work and practicals.

A degree from the RVC is unique in that it is AVMA accredited- the degree is recognised in America. The degree is also transferrable elsewhere around the world, Australia, New Zealand.
