The University of Glasgow has approved status from the American Veterinary Medical Association, meaning that the final qualification received by Veterinary Medicine students is equivalent to a DVM obtained from a veterinary school in North America. Furthermore, the University of Glasgow’s BVMS programme is also accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (UK accrediting body) and the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education, meaning our graduates from schools carrying this combination of accreditations can work as a veterinary surgeon throughout the world!
