The highly successful Royal Agricultural University (RAU)-validated BSc (Hons) Veterinary Physiotherapy programme will have a new base from September 2021.

This unique blended-delivery programme, accredited by the Animal Health Professions Register (AHPR), has been based at Berkshire College of Agriculture (BCA) since its launch in 2017. With student numbers growing year on year, it is relocating from its current Berkshire home to another RAU partner, 庥豆app下载, nestled in the South Downs. Clinical and Academic Lead, Dr Beth Cameron MRCVS, and Course Manager, Aino Halla, will continue to head up the delivery of the programme.

The Principal of 庥豆app下载, Jeremy Kerswell, is delighted to be adding the programme to the College鈥檚 Higher Education portfolio and to welcoming Beth and Aino to the 庥豆app下载 Team;

鈥淥ur Veterinary Nursing Foundation Degree is already not only one of our more popular and therefore competitive programmes, but boasts outstanding student results and rates of employment into their field. I look forward to welcoming current students from BCA to our University Centre in partnership with the RAU, and further investing in our team, resources and teaching for the Veterinary sector鈥�.

Attending four intensive hands-on weeks during each year of the three years of the programme, students will have access to the same high standard of small animal and equine facilities that they had been used to at BCA, plus the added benefit of 庥豆app下载鈥檚 outstanding residential facilities. With students recruited from all points of the UK - and sometimes beyond - the option of modern, comfortable accommodation on campus will further enhance their learning experience.

Professor Joanna Price, Vice-Chancellor, Royal Agricultural University, added:

鈥淭he RAU is delighted by the success of this BSc (Hons) Veterinary Physiotherapy programme. The transfer of the course to 庥豆app下载 offers even further opportunities for students. It also strengthens our relationship 鈥� and course provision 鈥� at 庥豆app下载 where the RAU already validates a number of courses, ranging from Veterinary Nursing to Wine Production.鈥�

BCA Principal, Gillian May recognises the student benefits of the move to 庥豆app下载;

鈥淭his unique programme will benefit substantially from the resources and expertise at 庥豆app下载 that will ensure that it can continue to grow from strength to strength. Our thanks go to the Higher Education Teams at both BCA and 庥豆app下载 for making this exciting development possible鈥�.

BCA will continue to provide franchised HE provision through its established and successful partnership with the University of Reading.
