Programme overview

Postgraduate research in the Bristol Veterinary School is largely based at the Langford campus, which houses a large number of research groups along with Langford Vets and the University farm. The strength of the school's research programme is greatly enhanced by its position within the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences.
