Veterinary students
Extra-mural studies (EMS)
Extra-mural studies, or EMS, is an essential component of undergraduate veterinary education, enabling you to gain practical experience across a wide range of veterinary practises and procedures.
Information and guidance for veterinary students, veterinary schools and EMS placement providers.
Fitness to practise guide for UK vet schools and vet students
Together with the Veterinary Schools Council (VSC), we have published a fitness to practise guide for UK veterinary schools and veterinary students.
The first section provides guidance for veterinary schools on recognising and addressing fitness to practise concerns. Part two sets out the broad principles of fitness to practise that students should follow and which veterinary schools should expect and uphold.
Veterinary Graduate Development Programme (VetGDP)
The VetGDP supports graduates in developing their clinical and professional capabilities, resilience and confidence, helping them to establish a fulfilling career as a veterinary professional.
The programme offers meaningful and effective support for all veterinary graduates during their first 18 months in their role, helping them develop into assured, confident members of the practice team.

Working in the EU after graduation
There may be further requirements for graduates from UK vet schools to be able to work in the EU. Students currently studying at UK veterinary schools who wish to work in the EU once they have graduated are advised to contact the appropriate authority in the country they wish to work in to check for any further requirements. For further information and a list of competent authorities within the EU, visit the Federation of veterinarians of Europe (FVE).
