Clinical Veterinary Medicine

About this course

Clinical veterinary medicine is one of the most demanding and rewarding professional degrees available, training students to diagnose, treat and prevent disease across a wide range of animal species. Veterinary medicine requires mastery of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, pathology, microbiology and clinical skills, combined with the communication abilities to work effectively with animal owners and the professional judgement to make sound clinical decisions under pressure. It is a discipline that serves both animal welfare and public health, with veterinarians playing a critical role in food safety, disease surveillance and the management of zoonotic infections. At the University of Edinburgh, this five-year full-time programme is delivered at one of the world's leading veterinary schools, with access to outstanding clinical facilities and a broad range of animal species in teaching
