The Royal Veterinary College has approximately 1,500 students, all training to be vets, curiously enough. The Veterinary College of London was founded in 1791 making it the country’s first and largest veterinary school.


The impetus behind founding the Royal Veterinary College was to discover what made the greatest racehorse of all time, a horse called Eclipse, unbeatable on the racecourse.

The college received its first Charter of Incorporation from Queen Victoria in 1875, and was admitted as a school of the University of London in the Faculty of Medicine in 1949.

The College’s main site is situated in Camden where we spend two years falling over minor indie bands and over eyelinered types every time we go down the pub. In the following years we move out to the tranquil countryside of Hawkshead, a country estate and farm acquired by the College in 1955, to do our clinical study.

The Royal Veterinary College continues to develop its distinctive role as the UK’s first, largest, and only self-governing veterinary school.
