Veterinary Medicine and Surgery

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!

Fee Pass

The University of Glasgow School of Veterinary Medicine is working with several US universities on an innovative programme whereby selected students will complete their final year of their animal science degree at the University of Glasgow.  During their time at Glasgow, students will be enrolled in the first year of the University’s Veterinary Medicine programme while earning credits toward their degree at their home institution.  Upon successful completion of the year abroad and graduation from their US university,  students will be guaranteed entry into year 2 of the University of Glasgow’s BVMS programme.
