Veterinary Gateway Programme
Royal Veterinary College, University of LondonCourse Overview
The BVetMed Veterinary Gateway Programme at Royal Veterinary College, University of London is a undergraduate programme designed for students passionate about advancing animal welfare. Based in London, England, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 6-year full-time structure. The Veterinary Gateway programme is a targeted Widening Participation initiative aimed at students who want to study veterinary medicine but who might not otherwise meet our entry requirements. This is a six-year course that integrates a preparatory 'Gateway' year designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to study veterinary medicine. Successful completion of the Gateway year does not give you a qualification in itself, but does lead automatically into our five-year BVetMed programme, which will qualify you to practice as a veterinarian. Home/uk fees are £9,535 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 7.0 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 92% student satisfaction rating, a median graduate salary of £36,000 within three years, and a 100% continuation rate.
