Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine with an Intercalated Year

Overview

This program allows you to study the five-year BVetMed course plus an additional year completing an intercalated degree. 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 BSc courses at the RVC. These are available for intercalation for second and third-year veterinary, medical and dentistry students.

Intercalated BSc Bioveterinary Sciences
Aimed at students with a strong interest in research, the programme allows you to develop your interests in cutting-edge scientific research and aims to equip you with a passion for biomedical research within the context of a diverse range of species, an appreciation of the fundamental principles of bioveterinary disciplines, and an understanding of the complexity of comparative biology.

Intercalated BSc Comparative Pathology
Experience first-hand the excitement of contemporary pathology, and its far-reaching scientific relevance. This intercalated program will stimulate curiosity at the boundaries of research in pathology.

Pathology, the science of disease, is central to understanding and conduct of veterinary and biomedical research, clinical medicine and surgery. There is a need for veterinary scientists who are trained in pathology and pathology techniques to fulfil the ever-growing demand for such expertise arising from clinical practice, academia and industry.

The Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine course is delivered across both of our campuses. You will spend the first two years primarily based at our Camden Campus, before being based at the Hawkshead Campus in the latter years. Your intercalated year will be dependent on your choice of subject and research project, as our labs are situated across both campuses.
