The University of Bristol’s veterinary school is celebrating 75 years of educating veterinary students.

Since the first group of students were admitted in October 1949, the school has seen more than 5,000 veterinary students graduate.

Professor Jeremy Tavaré, pro vice-chancellor and executive dean for the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, said: “I’m delighted to be celebrating Bristol Veterinary School’s 75 years.

“Its excellence in teaching and research has resulted in greater understanding and some real-world changes benefiting the health and welfare of both animals and humans, which is testament to the school’s remarkable staff, students and graduates.”
