Combined BS/DVM Program: St. George’s University has affiliated with Caldwell College, New Jersey to give students an opportunity to receive their degree in veterinary medicine in seven years, rather than the traditional eight years.  Students who are accepted into this program will finish their Caldwell College requirements within three years, while completing all the SGU prerequisite courses.  Assuming students meet the minimum grade point average (GPA) and score competitively on standardized exams (MCAT or GRE) then they will begin their first year at SGU.  After completion of their first year at SGU, the SGU credits will then be transferred to Caldwell College, and Caldwell College will award an undergraduate degree. 

For more information, contact Dr. Sook Choi of the Department of Natural and Physical Sciences at Caldwell College, at schoi@caldwell.edu or Bob Ryan, Associate Dean of Enrolment Planning at St. George’s University at bobryan@sgu.edu.

Preveterinary Medicine Foundation Program:  Cambridge Tutors College is an internationally recognized sixth-form college celebrating 40 years of continuous development and is located just outside of central London in the United Kingdom. Cambridge Tutors College and St. George’s University have joined forces to create a wonderful opportunity for students to study in London for a one-year preveterinary medical foundation course in the sciences before moving on to the second (or in some cases, third) year of the St. George’s University preveterinary medical program.

To enter this program, students must meet the primary entrance requirements for the foundation course at Cambridge Tutors College. After the successful completion of the foundation course, entry into the St. George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine is subject to passing the end-of-year examinations. Upon passing, students will automatically move from Cambridge Tutors College into St. George’s University preveterinary medical program.

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 Medical Certificate: 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 coursework will allow students to gain direct entry into the first year of the four-year veterinary medical degree program at St. George’s University.

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

At the time of application, 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.

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 an attractive countryside setting a short drive from the open spaces of the Peak District National Park. The campus is fully self-contained with an excellent library, accommodations, and sports and recreational facilities, making it a friendly, sociable place where students are assured a warm welcome.
