The
University of Glasgow’s School of Veterinary Medicine is pre-eminent in
teaching, research and clinical provision, and attracts students,
researchers and clinicians from around the world. Our internationally
accredited school provides an expert referral centre via the Small
Animal Hospital, the Weipers Centre for Equine Welfare and the Scottish
Centre for Production Animal Health & Welfare for animal owners and
referring practitioners throughout the UK. In the Research Assessment
Exercise 2008, the Grade Point Average for our research activity was the
highest in Scotland and joint highest in the UK, reaffirming our
position as one of the country’s leading veterinary schools.
Following the first
ever international UK accreditation visit to be undertaken conjointly
between the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Council on
Education, The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), The European
Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE) and The
Australasian Veterinary Boards Council (AVBC) in April 2013, the
University of Glasgow’s School of Veterinary Medicine has achieved full
accreditation for a further period of seven years.
The visit was undertaken following the protocol agreed with the International Accreditors Working Group, with AVMA, and the Australasian Veterinary Boards Council, at which EAEVE had representatives as observers. It is anticipated that the next site visit will take place in 2020.
The School’s pass rate in the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE) is currently 97% compared to the pass rate required by the AVMA Council on Education standard for Outcomes Assessment which is 80%. The NAVLE is a requirement for licensure to practice veterinary medicine in all licensing jurisdictions in North America.

'Celebrating 150 years of veterinary excellence'
1862-2012
The year 2012 marked
the 150th anniversary of the University of Glasgow’s School of
Veterinary Medicine, which was founded in 1862 by James McCall. The
anniversary was marked with a year long integrated campaign to both
honour the past and look forward to ongoing success in the future.
Events occurred
throughout 2012 targeting the general public, veterinary surgeons and
nurses, staff and students, friends and alumni. The focal point of the
celebrations took place from 5-7 October 2012 and included the McCall
Lecture, a day of CPD and a social programme.
