The undergraduate degree in Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (BVetMS) is a contemporary and exciting curriculum, meeting the RCVS Day One Competences and also developing a wider range of professional attributes.
The course is delivered by the Harper & Keele Veterinary School.
Veterinary careers are varied across the clinical and non-clinical sectors. Practising vets can focus on companion, equine, exotics or farm animal clinical work and their related specialisms where advances in animal science and technology are transforming both disease prevention and treatment. But career options in the non-clinical veterinary sector are also growing – with exciting avenues opening up in industry, education, research, business and innovation and working collaboratively across animal and human health.

About this course
The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), has highlighted the importance of opening up the veterinary profession to a more representative, diverse body of vets. The Harper and Keele Veterinary School recognises that some potentially strong, academically able future vets have been being discouraged from aspiring to the profession by lack of access to work experience opportunities and/or the fierce competition for vet school places. Mindful of this, both institutions are developing alternative routes to enter the School in the form of Year 0 and Foundation options.
Options offered at Harper Adams University are:
A foundation year programme in Veterinary Bioscience (With Access to Veterinary Medicine)
This programme provides a preparatory year of study before students are assessed for access to the BVetMS degree. Students must achieve a minimum pass rate of 70% in year zero and pass the Multi-Mini Interview assessment, as required by all vet school candidates. Up to 10 places are available on this programme each year.
Access via other related degrees
Students currently completing year 1 of the following awards at Harper Adams, with a minimum pass rate of 70% and subject to results of the Multi-Mini Interview assessment, can also progress on to the BVetMS. Up to 5 students will be accepted for transfer into Year 1 of the vet school on this basis. Candidates will be ranked by performance and the top five will be eligible to progress.
