Nottingham Vet School gains AVMA accreditation
A group of Nottingham vet school students look on as they observe the care of a dog.

The award represents the highest standard of achievement for veterinary medical education in the United States.

The University of Nottingham's School of Veterinary Medicine and Sciences has received full accreditation from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).

Nottingham is currently one of the few veterinary schools in the world to hold accreditation from the AVMA in the United States and Canada, the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE) in Europe, and the RCVS Accreditation in the United Kingdom, which also grants graduates a licence to practise in Ireland, Australasia, and South Africa. 

This latest award means that Nottingham's veterinary graduates can now practise anywhere in the world.

AVMA accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for veterinary medical education in the United States. Nottingham's accreditation follows an inspection earlier this year and confirms that it meets the AVMA's standards and comprehensive peer-review process.

Professor Gary England, Dean of Nottingham's School of Veterinary Medicine and Science, said: “This is fantastic news, demonstrating the quality of our programme and how it benchmarks internationally. 

“I am very proud that we have been accredited by AVMA and, along with our accreditation from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education, this clearly defines us as a school of global standing.”
