Royal Veterinary College, University of London

Course

Course is split into a practical day, small groups day and 2 days of theory. Whilst this is good, it can be quite expensive to travel all the way to campus for an hours practical session

Finances

Expensive place to travel to as not overly well connected via public transport, but there is a uni bus service into the local town. Accomodation is quite expensive for what it is, with the houses being dated and in constant need of repairs.

Overall

The course content is great but sometimes lacks organisation. The lecturers and support staff are approachable and friendly. The hawkshead campus is located near to the local town, but there’s not much in town in terms of nightlife

Unilife

A small pub is available on campus, but about the size of a large living room. Not much else to do on campus at night. The local town has a Wetherspoons and a few pubs, but have to travel into London for any proper nightlife

Facilities

We have state of the art facilities and have access to some of the best veterinary medicine facilities in the country. Especially the RVC’s hospitals, our referral practice is the largest in Europe so you get such a wide experience in so many specialist areas.
