Partnerships
Partnerships underpin the School of Veterinary Medicine. The initial concept for a new vet school that capitalised on pre-existing community and professional links among academics and clinicians was the idea of key individuals in our foundation partner group.
The development of the School has been supported by the passion, knowledge, and dedication of our outstanding partners. As the School has evolved, additional strategic partnerships have been developed to increase opportunities for teaching and research ensuring our students obtain the widest range of experiences in their studies.
Our partner network is of utmost importance to the School of Veterinary Medicine and we look forward to continuing developing and strengthening our relationships and collaborations with the hope that we can continue to work together to deliver our aim: to inspire and educate veterinary professionals who will advance veterinary medicine to meet the needs of a changing world.
