Welcome to our new students coming to Edinburgh!

This week is Welcome Week for all our new students arriving at Edinburgh to begin student life, and an especially warm welcome (and welcome back) to our new and returning veterinary students. We are also delighted to be welcoming our next cohort of Masters students to the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies (R(D)SVS), whether they will be joining us at the Easter Bush campus or online to begin or continue their studies in animal behaviour and welfare.

In these uncertain times Welcome Week, and the first semester will feel a little bit different to usual for all of us, but the education teams have been working really hard to keep the campus secure and to provide a hybrid model of teaching with a blend of online and in person teaching. We are confident that our students will still have a great experience with us, and some of the new ways of teaching may even be an improvement on what we used to do in the past! For our MSc in Applied Animal Behaviour and Animal Welfare it is a particularly special year since it marks 30 years since the course began, as the oldest MSc programme in animal welfare in world. We will also be planning events to celebrate this special milestone. 

The R(D)SVS is consistently ranked as one of the best veterinary schools in the world (most recently voted top in the UK by Guardian Newspaper: https://www.ed.ac.uk/vet/news-events/news-and-archive/2020-news/guardian-league-table-2021), and is located in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. If you are interested in studying with us as a veterinary student then you can find out more information here: https://www.ed.ac.uk/vet and see a video about student life here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNpX_DV7l4c



Or if you are interested in our postgraduate teaching in animal behaviour and welfare (or other subjects) then you can find out more here: https://www.ed.ac.uk/vet/studying/postgraduate

We hope to be welcoming you to our campus one day too!
