AVMA News: U of Nottingham granted full accreditation status
AVMA News reported on Dec. 15 that the University of Nottingham School of Veterinary Medicine and Science in Nottingham, England, was granted full accreditation status by the AVMA Council on Education.
Nottingham has been accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons since 2011.
Institutions that earn AVMA accreditation confirm a commitment to quality and continuous improvement through a rigorous and comprehensive peer review.
The new accreditation status means Nottingham graduates will now be able to sit for the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination, which is required for licensure in the U.S. and Canada. Currently, the veterinary school does not have any U.S. students.
In 2019, Nottingham announced a plan to nearly double its intake of students in response to a veterinarian shortage in the U.K.
The five-year program accepts 300 students a year. Tuition fees are 34,000 pounds — about $42,000 — a year. Students have exposure to hands-on animal experience and real clinical cases from the start of the program.
The Council on Education grants accreditation status to foreign veterinary colleges on the basis of compliance with 11 standards of accreditation. Nottingham is now the third veterinary school in England and 17th foreign veterinary school accredited by the AVMA.
