Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture number one in the UK
Two courses at the University of Nottingham have been ranked number one in the UK in the latest national league tables.
Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture were at the top of their respective subject tables in The Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide 2014.
The results followed this year’s National Student Survey, which saw vet students at Nottingham report a 91 per cent satisfaction rating.
Professor Gary England, Founding Dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science, said: “We are exceptionally pleased to be recognised as the best place to study veterinary medicine in the UK in The Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide 2014.”
“This follows hot on the heels of success in the National Student Survey, where we gained outstanding ratings, coming top again for the third successive year. Our students, staff and clinical associates are to be congratulated on making Nottingham undoubtedly a great place to study veterinary medicine.”
Professor Neil Crout, Head of the School of Biosciences, said: “We are delighted that our courses in Agriculture and related subjects have been rated the best in the country by The Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide – this reflects our excellent teaching, facilities, and of course our fantastic students.”
Nottingham scored highly for the career prospects of all of its graduates, as it was rated highest in the region for graduates moving on to professional jobs or further graduate level study.
The university also had a number of other highly rated courses featured in the guide. Pharmacology and pharmacy, physiotherapy, law and physics were rated as being in the top five, alongside numerous other courses in top ten positions, including economics, architecture and chemistry.
