Doctor of Veterinary Medicine DVetMed

The Professional Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine provides an opportunity for qualified veterinary surgeons to undertake a period of advanced clinical training in a chosen specialty under the guidance and supervision of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and European/American veterinary Specialists.

The programme consolidates and enhances evidence based-knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes to enable independent practice to the standard of a recognised specialist in the chosen discipline. Additionally, it will provide you with training in, and experience of, research. You will be required to produce a dissertation, defend it at a viva examination, and present and publish your findings.

The programme provides training and experience in teaching, as well as access to optional courses in specialty-relevant areas.
