In response to the recognition and registration of veterinary nursing as a profession in Ireland, UCD developed and implemented a full-time, four-year honours BSc Veterinary Nursing degree course in 2009. The degree provides the graduate with not only a sound academic foundation but also the practical skills and competencies with which to build a solid career as a professional veterinary nurse.

 

The course is accredited by the Veterinary Council of Ireland (VCI) and by the European Accreditation body ACOVENE.

 

The School of Veterinary Medicine at UCD is ranked in the QS Top 50 Veterinary Science Departments globally and is first in Ireland.
