The Open House is an opportunity for prospective students, parents/guardians and advisors to learn about the RVC, the undergraduate courses on offer and the application process through a Welcome Presentation and student-led tour of the historic London Campus and/or rural Hertfordshire Campus. RVC support staff will also be on-hand at both campuses to answer and questions.
The tour of the London Campus, home to the RVC since 1791, will showcase the outstanding teaching facilities, laboratories, Anatomy Museum and student wellbeing spaces. The RVC’s London Campus is home to all of the BSc and MSci Biological Sciences Pathways (except the final year of the Animal Biology, Behaviour, Welfare and Ethics programme), the Veterinary Gateway programme, Years 1 and 2 of the Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine (BVetMed) programme and Year 1 of the Graduate Accelerated BVetMed.
The tour of the Hertfordshire Campus, which stretches over 575 acres, will explore the brand-new Student Learning Centre, hospital and clinical teaching facilities, laboratories, sports centre, select on-site accommodation and student wellbeing spaces. The RVC’s Hertfordshire Campus is home to all Veterinary Nursing Pathways, the final year of the Animal Biology, Behaviour, Welfare and Ethics programme and the final three years of all Veterinary Medicine (BVetMed & BVSc) Pathways.

Choosing Time Slots
If you plan to visit both campuses you are responsible for organising transportation, typically this would take around 1 hour. Travel via train (Kings Cross Station to Potters Bar Station and vice-versa) is highly recommended and as such we suggest selecting slots with at least a 1-1.5 hour gap due to the commute between campuses.
