The Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine is a 6-year programme designed to train professionally competent veterinarians according to strenuous international accreditation standards.
The first 2 years focus on animal husbandry, animal welfare, food safety, pre-clinical sciences and biomedical sciences, and following 4 years focus on extensive clinical training and controlling infectious diseases. The 6-year curriculum emphasises both clinical practice and science-based education to ensure that well-rounded graduates have knowledge of companion animal and farm animal medicine. Our curriculum has been jointly developed with Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, a global leader in veterinary medical education and services.
Our College is equipped with state-of-the-art clinical and practical teaching facilities for hands-on training including extra-mural studies.

Remarks: All BVM students must obtain an overall IELTS score of 7 and 7 in each category, or a TOEFL score of 600 (paper-based test) or 100 (Internet-based test) prior to graduation as stipulated by the Australasian Veterinary Boards Council (AVBC).
The Jockey Club College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences is engaged in a process with the Australasian Veterinary Boards Council (AVBC) towards international accreditation of the Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine programme. The programme was granted Provisional Accreditation after admission of the first cohort of students in September 2017 and we maintain this status after the recent accreditation visit in February 2019. We continue to be on track for full accreditation when the first cohort graduates in 2023.
