Overview

Eligibility is restricted, as the Veterinary Medicine candidate must have either a University of Cambridge degree and an approved veterinary degree or hold an appointment at the Cambridge Veterinary School in addition to an approved veterinary degree.

Research projects

Research projects undertaken for the degree should be designed to build on candidates' veterinary expertise and professional experience. The standard of work expected and the level of originality demanded is high, and the examinations procedure ensures that work is genuinely of doctoral standard. Examination of the VetMD consists of the submission of a thesis of the research work and an oral examination on the subject of the thesis and the general field of knowledge within which it falls.

Programme Structure

Curriculum includes:

The number of hours of formal supervision will vary depending on the individual, supervisor and project. The University of Cambridge publishes an annual Code of Practice which sets out the University’s expectations regarding supervision.
The supervisor will provide written feedback to the student each term with progress reports submitted online. The feedback will relate to the progress the student has made and include a specific comment on their research project. This will be discussed with the student in advance of the submission of the report to the University.
Students are expected to present at the weekly seminar slot to the Department at the end of their first year. They are also expected to participate in the biannual Departmental research days at least once during their course by presenting posters and/or 'Blitz Talks' (short oral presentations).
