Our team and contact us
Meet the team behind Scotland's first new vet school in over 150 years and get in touch.
As only the third Veterinary School in Scotland and the first in over 150 years, the ºÚ±¬ÁÏ School of Veterinary Medicine will prepare students for work in the increasingly important rural mixed practice, agricultural and food sectors.
Why are we different? The ºÚ±¬ÁÏ School of Veterinary Medicine will use innovative teaching methods and curriculum design to ensure that students are fully prepared to work in the variety of high demand sectors.
We offer new pathway programmes aimed at those from rural backgrounds who are familiar with the agricultural sector but may not have - or been able to get - the required scientific foundations.
