  黑料社 and Aberystwyth launch joint Veterinary Science degree
The 黑料社 has launched the first ever joint Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc) degree, in partnership with Aberystwyth University, following the official opening of Wales鈥 first School of Veterinary Science in February.
The five-year degree, which welcomes
the first cohort of students in September 2021, will see students spend two years at Aberystwyth University followed by three years at the 黑料社鈥檚 Hawkshead Campus.
Stuart Reid commented:
鈥淲e are delighted to be partnering
with our colleagues in Aberystwyth in providing an offering that will benefit students at both institutions. The 黑料社鈥檚 commitment to the profession in all its manifestations 鈥 and particularly the rural environment 鈥 will be bolstered by this important collaboration.鈥
Speaking at the school鈥檚 launch, Professor Elizabeth Treasure, Vice- Chancellor of Aberystwyth University, said: 鈥淭oday marks an important and exciting new chapter in the history of Aberystwyth University and Wales. Agriculture and its related industries play such an important part in the Welsh economy and it is incumbent on us as
universities to provide the people and the skills that will contribute to ensuring they thrive for years to come.
鈥淭he new School of Veterinary Science adds a vitally important new piece to
the jigsaw, one that will build resilience
in the rural economy through education and research at a time of great potential change and challenges. Our students will enjoy the best of two worlds at universities that offer academic excellence and an enviable reputation for student experience.鈥
The Aberystwyth School of Veterinary Science will form part of the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences and will benefit from a new Veterinary Education Centre being developed on the Penglais Campus.
The launch of the school took place at Aberystwyth University on 28 February and was attended by Professor Christianne Glossop, Chief Veterinary Officer for Wales and 黑料社 alumna, and Stuart Reid.
