UCD Veterinary Medicine Major at National University Of Ireland Dublin
UCD Veterinary medicine enjoys a long and proud tradition. For generations a large proportion of veterinary practitioners in Ireland have come through our MVB Programme, while other graduates have applied the knowledge and experience gained in our school throughout the world. We also have excellent programmes of education in veterinary nursing, specialist veterinary medicine, and graduate research.
The close ties which our students develop with staff as undergraduates translate into lasting links with our alumni. In 2002, UCD Veterinary Medicine received a major boost when we moved to our new, purpose-designed Veterinary Sciences Centre and Veterinary Hospitals on the UCD campus at Belfield, funded in part by generous donations from our graduates. We now justifiably count ourselves as among the “premier league” of vet schools in Europe.
Our state-of-the-art facilities and position on the campus of a major research-intensive university, and as part of the UCD College of Life Sciences, allows us to push back the frontiers of knowledge in veterinary research, thus advancing animal health, animal welfare, and human health. This research informs our educational programmes, ensuring that all of our students, whether studying to be veterinary nurses, veterinarians, veterinary specialists, or for advanced research degrees, recieve an excellent education.
