Liverpool campus

Welcome to Liverpool campus

Based at the Thompson Yates Building and the Veterinary Teaching Suite, the Liverpool Campus provides teaching for the first three years of the undergraduate course.

Liverpool is an incredible place to live and study, with over 800 years of history, an international reputation for high-class sport, music, and architecture, and no end of other cultural experiences for students to take advantage of during their time in the city.

By spending much of their preclinical years in the city itself, veterinary science students are able to take advantage of all that Liverpool has to offer, including the new facilities offered in the Waterhouse Veterinary Teaching Hub and the Veterinary Teaching Suite. Situated centrally in the North Campus, the Waterhouse includes teaching and study spaces, fully-equipped clinical skills laboratories, where students can hone their skills in such diverse areas as bandaging, auscultation, and physical examination of their simulated patients, mock consult rooms, a VR immersive technology room and a social hub for students. Our Student Experience team is also onsite to deal with student enquiries.

A short walk away from the Waterhouse, the Veterinary Teaching Suite (VTS) has two large rooms in which practical sessions can be taught. The VTS is equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, including high-resolution cameras and display screens. On the ground floor, it has a dry consolidation room where students can revisit learning material and look at bones and dry samples, as well as a wet room containing anatomical specimens.
