BSc Honours Veterinary Nursing Degree

Описание: This BSc Honours Veterinary Nursing degree programme - jointly developed, delivered and assessed by Middlesex University and The College of Animal Welfare – is the first of its kind in Europe, and offers a unique opportunity to study a degree in veterinary nursing.

The degree is a single award from Middlesex University and was the first programme in the UK to be given direct accredited status by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS). This means that unlike those training on non-directly accredited programmes, graduates will not need to undertake further assessment in order to be eligible to apply to join the RCVS Register of Veterinary Nurses in accordance with the requirements of the Veterinary Surgeons Act (1966) and the RCVS Veterinary Nursing Registration Rules. It is by means of RCVS registration that veterinary nurses achieve their highly valued professional status.

As well as modules covering relevant theoretical knowledge, there will be an emphasis on gaining direct experience throughout this vet nursing degree programme. As such you will be encouraged to experience not only first opinion practice, but also veterinary referral centres and leading animal welfare clinics and hospitals. The practical veterinary nurse training offers valuable opportunities to gain hands on practical experience in veterinary practices that have been carefully selected and arranged for you. This will give you a professional advantage on completion of the qualification, and prepare you for the responsibilities and challenges that come with your chosen career.
