The Hawkshead Campus in Hertfordshire houses facilities to deliver both the theoretical and practical elements of our courses. It is where our veterinary medicine students are based for their final three years, alongside student veterinary nurses, final year Animal Biology, Behaviour, Welfare and Ethics students and specialists-in-training.
Opened in 2023, our new Student Learning Centre provides new teaching laboratories, a library and a main lecture theatre, alongside informal social learning spaces. The campus also houses other modern lecture theatres and laboratories.
The redevelopment has significantly increased our research facilities, including the launch of the RVC Centre for Vaccinology and Regenerative Medicine. This is the latest specialist centre on campus, which already houses the Centre for Emerging and Endemic Diseases, Structure and Motion Laboratories, Clinical Skills Centre, and Clinical Investigations Centre.
