Teaching

The Small Animal Teaching Hospital is involved in the clinical training of veterinary students in their final years, as well as the training of qualified vets on internship and residency programmes who are aiming towards specialist qualifications across many disciplines.

The hospital is part of the University’s School of Veterinary Science and is proud to offer students, interns and residents teaching to the very highest standards of veterinary medicine in a caring and compassionate environment. 

Undergraduates rotate through all the services at the hospital during their clinical years and receive a thorough grounding in all veterinary disciplines. Postgraduates come to the hospital as interns, residents and on scholarships to develop specialist skills in our state-of-the-art facilities under the guidance of our specialist team.
