Work Experience

We do not ask for specific types or number of days/weeks of work experience as it depends, to some extent, on the opportunities available to individual candidates. The broader the experience the better, but you should not gain experience to the detriment of your academic studies. You should, however, gain both veterinary practice and animal work experience.

Student Fees

All students can pay tuition fees before or at matriculation, or by instalments. Advance payment may help international students in particular when exchange rates are being considered, or if you have yet to open a UK bank account and can’t pay by other methods when matriculating. Payment by instalments can help spread the overall cost.

For up to date fee information please visit: www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/student-funding/tuition-fees/undergraduate

Teaching and learning

Our curriculum blends tradition with innovative use of modern technologies. Clinical and professional skills are taught from the earliest stages. Our approach is to ensure optimum integration of core subjects throughout the curriculum. While many of our graduates enter and remain within the veterinary profession for life, many others find that their training at Edinburgh enables them to succeed in a wide range of careers in research, government, private enterprise and academia.

Our curriculum includes innovative new approaches to teaching and learning, complemented by strong themes and varied practical work.

We use exciting educational tools including podcasting, vodcasting and the Virtual Veterinary Practice to support student learning.

We have created an innovative and stimulating educational environment using new approaches to teaching and learning that combine:

• Practical and clinical work

• Lectures

• Small-group teaching and tutorials

• Interactive/problem-solving activities

Veterinarians play a key role in the understanding of diseases in populations and are important members of global healthcare teams. To reflect this, the themes of animal health, welfare and food safety run throughout the curriculum.

Extra Mural Studies

Extra Mural Studies (EMS) are a compulsory component of the curriculum and allow students to gain practical experience in as many aspects of veterinary work as possible.

This has been a requirement for all veterinary students in the UK since 1932 and is currently referred to as EMS.

EMS consists of two distinct phases:

• Pre-clinical or animal husbandry phase, which comprises a total of 12 weeks carried out prior to entry into the clinical years of the course.

The Veterinary Medicine Curriculum

• Clinical EMS, which comprises 26 weeks carried out during the three clinical years of the programme. Clinical EMS should include time in abattoirs, laboratories, and with government veterinary services, as well as in clinical practices. Students can also spend time working on research projects or attending research summer schools as part of EMS.

As part of the four-year accelerated route, you are able to complete up to six weeks of your pre-clinical EMS prior to starting the course. Only experience gained up to 12 months before application will be considered for exemption towards your EMS.

Student Support

We are dedicated to ensuring that you have an enjoyable and beneficial time with us. Our comprehensive support structures are designed to meet the needs of our students.

To help you settle in, all students are paired with an existing student on a mentor-scheme and a member of staff is also allocated as your personal tutor for pastoral and academic related issues. We have a dedicated Student Support Officer on campus who is available to our students for any support issues and can offer help, guidance and someone to listen when needed.

Inspired by Harry Potter’s Hogwarts houses, we have developed our own house system. We have ten houses, each named after the Pentland Hills adjacent to the campus. Each house is headed up by a senior house tutor and consists of six personal tutors and approximately 80 students.

We offer dedicated study skills advice, through drop-in and individual bookable sessions. Typically during these sessions, current methods will be reviewed and alternative strategies suggested. Often students find just small changes can make a big difference to their enjoyment and success at university. We also offer workshops and other events where students can try out various techniques and talk to fellow students about what methods they use. In addition, all lectures are recorded and made available to students online just 24 hours later. This allows students to get the most out of their classes and be well-prepared for exams.

At the University of Edinburgh we also have over 260 different student clubs and societies, offering you the chance to develop your interests, network and meet like-minded people.


Visa and Immigration

As an international student, you will require a Tier 4 Visa to enter the UK for study at the University of Edinburgh. Once you hold an Unconditional Firm offer (this is when you have our offer and met all the conditions of this), you will be able to apply for a Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) number, which will enable you to apply for your visa.

Students on Tier 4 visas can remain in the UK for four months after their programme ends. Should they wish to remain and practise in the UK, students will need to have an offer of employment and thereafter apply for a Tier 2 skilled worker visa. This can be done up to three months prior to completion of studies, or at any time after this whilst their Tier 4 visa remains valid. If applying prior to graduation, the University can provide a supporting letter to confirm the student has completed all exams and coursework.

For more information on career prospects please contact our Careers Service: www.ed.ac.uk/careers

For information about visa options for working in the UK after studies please contact our Student Immigration Service: https://edin.ac/2GtBR0I

签证与入境

作为国际学生，您需要获得Tier 4签证来英国爱丁堡大学学习。一旦您收到了UF（Unconditional firm，无条件录取通知，接受爱丁堡大学的录取且满足录取的所有条件），您将会收到一个CAS号码（Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies，确认接收学习号），作为申请签证的凭证之一。

拥有Tier 4签证的学生可在课程结束之后继续留在英国4个月。如果学生希望在英国留居或者从事兽医工作，则需要先收到工作录用，然后申请Tier 2工作签证。学生可以最早在学业完成之前三个月进行申请该类签证，或者在完成学业之后Tier 4签证有效期内的任何时间进行申请。如果在毕业前进行申请，那么大学可以提供支持文件确认学生已经完成所有的考试和学习任务。关于就业前景方面的更多信息，请联系我们的就业服务部。关于完成学业之后在英国工作的签证选择，请联系我们的学生移民服务部。
