Overview

The Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (with Foundation Year) programme from The University of Lancashire is 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.

What you'll do

You’ll be embedded with the veterinary school with access to our newly developing teaching facilities.

You’ll be taught by the same academic team responsible for veterinary admissions and teaching.

You’ll be supported to develop your full potential regardless of your background.

Future career

This course is designed to prepare you for further study on our five-year Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine (BVMS). It also offers progression into other science and animal management careers.

The course opens the door to apply for a range of health and science-related courses.

Graduates of the BVMS course will be able to work as UK registered veterinary surgeons. Subject to successful licensing by the RCVS.
