Decision imminent on UCLan’s latest pet project – a 900-student vet school on Preston city campus
says it is aiming to have 64 vet students enrolled by next year, rising to 470 in 2028 and more than 900 when at full capacity in 2029/30.
"There is currently a significant employment need in the vet industry, particularly in the North West of the country where there is an 11 to 13 per cent shortage of qualified vets. The proposal will therefore help to fill this employment."The proposal would not only provide clear educational and employment benefits for students of UCLan, but also provide social benefit to the general public by providing more qualified vets to serve the needs of the population.
"The integration of postgraduate opportunities in education and employment will establish a strong population of veterinary graduates into the North West, an area affected by the national shortage of veterinary surgeons."
