Diploma di associato in Medicina Veterinaria

Girton has always taken a large cohort of veterinary students with, on average, eight to nine students embarking on the Veterinary Medicine course at Girton each year. This ensures an enthusiastic, varied and mutually supportive veterinary community within College. Informal veterinary “get-togethers” occur throughout the year and include the popular Michaelmas Term Vets’ Supper Party. Girton is also conveniently placed for easy access to the Veterinary School.

The teaching Fellowship contains fully qualified veterinary surgeons with clinical experience and specialist skills in equine medicine, small animal surgery and anatomic pathology. Students also benefit from interaction with the medical students and those studying natural sciences, frequently work together, and engage in activities such as the Science Communication Award.

Girton has a proud history as an institution that changed the world. Founded in 1869 by Emily Davies and Barbara Bodichon, the College is distinctive for being Britain’s first residential college for the degree level education of women. The College has always set the pace on matters of equality and inclusion – Girton was also the first of the Women’s Colleges to go mixed over forty years ago. But that was just the start. From the day the door first opened, to as recently as last week, Girton has had the knack of changing people’s lives. They, in turn, have gone on to shape the future – or some part of it at least.
