Harper and Keele Vet School
Overview of Harper and Keele Vet School
🏫
Harper Adams has a strong pedigree in animal sciences, veterinary nursing and veterinary physiotherapy, whilst Keele has a long history in the life sciences and human medicine. Between them they have 186 years of heritage in the combined animal and human health education sector. Both institutions are well recognised for their strength in employability, student satisfaction and first class teaching. Studying at the Keele University Veterinary Campus will allow students to embrace some of the latest veterinary technologies.
There are two centres that form this veterinary medicine course, which will provide students with the opportunity to take advantage of two institutions with not only a common commitment to excellence but also complementary skill sets and resources. In its first year of opening (2020), the Harper & Keele Veterinary School had a year group size of 120 students.
📅
Course Structure
The course structure is a highly practical and clinically-focused programme from year one. A contemporary ‘spiral’ curriculum design enables students to study the key concepts in relevant clinical context from the outset.
These are revisited in subsequent years with increasing complexity drawing on input from researchers, clinical specialists and industry colleagues from our extensive network.
