Veterinary Medicine
Our expertise and investment in top-class facilities will help you train as the veterinary professionals of the future.

There is an increased demand for skilled professionals at every level in the veterinary industry, from HND to BSc and BVSci*. Future technicians, nurses and fully qualified vets will train alongside each other to become fully exposed to the ethos of ‘Vet-Led Teams’.
SRUC has a network of campuses, veterinary hubs and consulting offices across Scotland, as well as those of our partner organisations, to compliment the upgraded facilities at our Aberdeen campus. We focus on rural communities, engaged with the natural economy across Scotland.
100% of our Higher Education Veterinary Nursing graduates and Level 3 Diploma students secured employment at the end of their studies.
*The BVSci Veterinary Science course is planned to begin in September 2023 pending approval. Sign up to our mailing list below to receive updates on the new facilities and the details on how and when applications will be invited.
