Accreditation
The veterinary programme at Cambridge carries conditional accreditation from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) in the UK and full accreditation from the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (ESEVT of the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education) in the EU.
Additionally, RCVS accreditation means that our graduates are licensed to work in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Ireland. Reciprocal arrangements between the RCVS and the Australasian Veterinary Boards Council (AVBC), the South African Veterinary Council (SAVC), and the Veterinary Council of Ireland (VCI), allow our graduates to practice in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Ireland without requiring any additional qualifications, subject to any visa requirements.
We are working constructively with the RCVS to regain Full Accreditation and look forward to welcoming them back to the Department in September 2025.
