The strength of the school's research programme is greatly enhanced by its position within the Faculty of Health Sciences. The research extends from the fundamental to the applied and it collaborate with other research groups in the faculty and beyond, building on a policy of integration of basic science with veterinary activities. The postgraduate students are members of the Faculty of Health Sciences Graduate School and greatly benefit from the training opportunities this provides. Postgraduate research in the School of Veterinary Science is largely based on the Langford campus, which houses a large number of research groups together with Langford Veterinary Services and the University farm. This course is also available in Part-time. Many of the graduates go on to pursue academic roles in universities performing a range of research, teaching and clinical roles. Other graduates have been recruited by research institutes (e.g. BBSRC), government bodies (e.g. Defra) or industry (pharmaceutical, animal feed etc) where they perform research and advisory roles. A number of veterinary graduates now perform specialist clinical activities in veterinary practices.
