School of Veterinary Medicine and Science one of only 10 European Veterinary Schools to gain accreditation

The University of Nottingham’s School of Veterinary Medicine and Science  has received full accreditation from the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education this week.  The School is now one of only 10 Schools across Europe to receive accreditation, and only the second in the UK after the Royal Veterinary College.

The School has been required to demonstrate how responsibility for quality is followed up with actual quality assurance in all areas of its operations from undergraduate and postgraduate admissions, teaching, learning and assessment through to clinical services, continued professional development and research.

Prof Gary England, Dean of School said “We are very pleased to receive accreditation from EAEVE. This is the a testament to the terrific work conducted by our staff and students at the School.   The student experience we provide has now been validated by both the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and EAEVE visitations in 2014, and is recognised by our students voting us top in the National Student Survey and Association of Veterinary Students Survey.   The School also tops the league tables in the Sunday Times/Times and Complete University Guides as well as the Research Assessment Exercise 2008.  We are all very proud to be part of the Nottingham success story”
