Overview

About the Programme

The Veterinary Medicine programme of the University of Nottingham is committed to addressing the key challenges of our age through research that has an impact. Our research spans across species, improving the health and welfare of animals. From reducing lameness in sheep using technology, understanding cancer, cardiovascular and degenerative diseases, to how viruses and bacteria work, so we can better understand and treat them.

Careers

We've developed and supported more than 150 veterinary postgraduate students in recent years. Many have gone on to work in academia, research, or further study.

You'll learn about research methods, critical appraisal of literature and research planning. In addition, you are required to submit a research thesis on your chosen project(s).
