Combined BS/DVM Program:  Bermuda College, Bermuda’s only postsecondary educational institution recognized for advanced standing in universities and colleges overseas, and St. George’s University have partnered to bring students a unique opportunity to meet interim educational milestones (an associate’s degree and a bachelor’s degree) while pursuing the long-term goal of earning a degree in veterinary medicine.

This seven-year educational sequence begins with enrollment in the two-year Associate of Science degree program at Bermuda College. After successfully completing the associate degree program, qualified students are eligible for admission to the combined BS/DVM degree program at St. George’s University.

The third year of this sequence consists of one year in St. George’s University preveterinary medical program. Students are eligible for promotion into the veterinary medical sciences after successful completion of the preveterinary medical year. Students must meet the admission requirements and qualifications to enter the School of Veterinary Medicine and continue to meet the standards for promotion within the respective schools.

The veterinary medical sciences, representing the fourth through seventh years of this sequence, make up four calendar years in duration. Upon successful completion of the first year of the veterinary medical sciences, the student will have completed four academic years of college level coursework and will be awarded a Bachelor of Science degree from St. George’s University.

After successful completion of the seven-year program, St. George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine will confer the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.

St. George’s University and H. Lavity Stoutt Community College have established a relationship that will facilitate academic advancement for students attending H. Lavity Stoutt Community College who wish to pursue higher degrees and/or professional careers in veterinary medicine at St. George’s University in Grenada, West Indies.

H. Lavity Stoutt Community College (HLSCC) is located in the British Virgin Islands. A leading tertiary educational institute in the Eastern Caribbean, HLSCC offers associate degrees in a variety of subject areas. The SGU-HLSCC partnership brings students a unique opportunity to meet interim educational milestones (an associate’s degree and a bachelor’s degree) while pursuing the long-term goal of earning a degree in veterinary medicine. This seven-year educational sequence begins with enrollment in the two-year Associate of Science degree program in Natural and Physical Science, with a concentration in Natural Science, at HLSCC. After successfully completing the associate degree program, qualified students will gain admission to a combined BS/DVM degree program at St. George’s University.

The third year of this sequence consists of one year in preveterinary medicine at St. George’s University. Students are eligible for promotion into the veterinary medical phase after successful completion of the preveterinary medical year. Students must meet the admission requirements and qualifications to be promoted into the first year of the veterinary medical phase and continue to meet the standards for promotion within the School of Veterinary Medicine.

The veterinary medical phase, representing the fourth through seventh years of this sequence, is four calendar years in duration. Upon successful completion of the first year, the student will have completed four academic years of college-level coursework and will be awarded a Bachelor of Science degree from St. George’s University.

After successful completion of the seven-year program, St. George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine will confer the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.

The decision to accept a student into this program will be made by a joint admission committee consisting of representatives from both institutions, and interim promotional guidelines must be met to continue in the program. Students from another, domestic-accredited institution with a maximum of 12 credits will also be considered for transfer into HLSCC and for joint admission.

Joint Veterinary Medical Program: In an arrangement that emphasizes the development of international collaborative efforts in research and education, Northumbria University and St. George’s University have formulated an agreement whereby students may move from one university to the other to customize their education to meet specific individual aspirations. In addition to the potential for reciprocal undergraduate exchange and access to graduate programs, the two institutions lend mutual support to the development of students who aspire to a career in veterinary medicine.

Northumbria, located in Newcastle on the River Tyne, continues to receive official recognition as one of the best universities of its kind in Britain. The University has a strong teaching and research reputation in a large number of medically related disciplines.

The Joint Veterinary Medical Program begins with a student’s acceptance into either the BSc (Honors) Human Biosciences, BSc (Honors) Biomedical Sciences, BSc (Honors) Biomedical Science and Chemistry, or the BSc (Honors) Applied Biology degree program. These programs are designed to develop a foundation of skills and knowledge required for success in veterinary medicine. Successful completion of one of these degree programs, with the requisite level of accomplishment, will facilitate entry of students from Northumbria University into St. George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine.

Preveterinary Certificate Program: The University of Nottingham, one of Britain’s most sought-after universities, and St. George’s University have joined forces to actively assist students interested in pursuing veterinary medicine. Within the structure of the arrangement outlined below, successful completion of the requisite course work will allow students to gain direct entry into the first year of the four-year veterinary medicine program at St. George’s University (SGU).

The University of Nottingham has invested heavily in student facilities in recent years and the image of Nottingham as a pleasant and progressive city contributes to attracting students. The campus for the School of Biosciences is situated in attractive countryside a short drive from the open spaces of the Peak District National Park. The campus is fully self-contained with excellent library, accommodation, sports and recreational facilities, making it a friendly, sociable place where students are assured of a warm welcome.

The School of Biosciences (that administers the Certificate in Preveterinary Sciences) received the highest mark in the United Kingdom for its subject areas in the most recent independent review of teaching quality. In addition, the most recent independent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) placed the School TOP in the United Kingdom in the subject panel ‘Agriculture, Veterinary and Food Sciences’. Overall, the University of Nottingham saw the greatest UK increase in the RAE scores compared to the previous assessment of 2001.s

Admission: At the time of application to the University of Nottingham, students will simultaneously submit an application to St. George's University School of Veterinary Medicine. After a personal interview conducted by SGU, acceptance into the Nottingham certificate program will be dependent upon a collective determination by both institutions.

Subsequent entry to St. George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine would be conditional upon obtaining an overall mark in the certificate of at least 2(i) standard and a satisfactory reference from Nottingham.

Students meeting, or expected to meet, the typical entry requirements of an A level or equivalent offer can apply through UCAS for a one year undergraduate Pre-veterinary Science Certificate Course. This course follows the same modules offered in year one of the BSc Honours degree in Animal Science in the School of Biosciences at the University of Nottingham.
