New Vet School is Number One
The UK's newest veterinary school tops National Student Survey. 

The University of Nottingham's School of Veterinary Medicine and Science has taken the top spot in the National Student Survey, having only received its accreditation this year. It is the first time the vet school has been able to participate and it has come up trumps, beating the six other British vet schools in terms of teaching, personal development and overall satisfaction.

The Dean, Professor Gary England, expressed his delight, saying: "It is very encouraging that Nottingham has received such good results in our first year of the NSS."

He added: "We have tried very hard to produce a clinically informed programmed that is stimulating and exciting, and that balances basic science, research and clinical subjects. The recent results are a testament to the staff of the school who have put so much effort into developing, delivering and supporting our course."

The National Student Survey is an annual occurrence, which asks students from every higher education provider in the UK to rate their educational experience across 22 question areas.
