VETERINARY MEDICINE

PROFESSION-SHAPING • CAREER-MAKING • WORLD-LEADING

We have been delivering exceptional training in veterinary medicine for over
231 years, and our clinical facilities are second-to-none. You will benefit from an
outstanding learning environment where you will gain practical experience in our
on-campus hospitals, practices and farm. You will graduate ready to make a real
difference in the veterinary profession.

Veterinary medicine is a strand-based course that follows a ‘spiral’ curriculum.
This means that key concepts are presented repeatedly to you as you progress
through the course, at deepening levels of complexity and in different contexts.
The progression of knowledge and understanding from preclinical basic concepts to
clinical and professional knowledge and reasoning skills is achieved by revisits to
each strand at different stages of the course. For example, when learning about the
kidney, you will learn basic anatomy, and physiology during the preclinical phase of
the course and then learn about the common diseases of the kidney and how they
are diagnosed and treated during the clinical phase. This is then enriched by working
with animal patients presented with kidney disease in our first opinion and referral
hospitals, or other practices, during clinical rotations and extra-mural placements.
