Veterinary Medicine
专业详情
The Department of Veterinary Medicine has an international reputation as a centre of excellence, and is performing world class veterinary research.
A major strength of the Cambridge course is the extensive use of practical teaching and the emphasis on small-group teaching from Year 1. Our staff includes world leaders in their field and our facilities include state-of-the-art equipment.
Facilities and resources
The modern facilities in the Queen’s Veterinary School Hospital include:
- a five-theatre small animal surgical suite
- active ambulatory farm animal and equine units
- a fully-equipped intensive care unit
- an equine surgical suite and diagnostic unit, with an MRI machine capable of imaging standing horses
- a superb post-mortem suite
We also have one of the leading cancer therapy units in Europe with a linear accelerator used for delivering radiotherapy to both small and large animals with cancer.
In addition, our Clinical Skills Centre houses interactive models and simulators for students to practise and refine essential technical skills individually and as integrated clinical scenarios – excellent preparation for the case responsibilities you have in the later years of the course. The Centre is accessible to students in all years of the course.
Small animals, farm animals and horses are housed on-site to provide continual opportunities to consolidate your animal handling skills. The nearby University Farm also allows all students to become involved in lambing and dairy management.
