Intramural rotation (IMR) placements are built into our BVMS course curriculum. Extramural studies (EMS) are extra placements you'll do in the holidays. You'll need to do both placement types to graduate.
Our intramural rotation (IMR) placements are built into the BVMS course and we'll usually arrange these on your behalf. In Years 1 to 4, you'll spend one week per semester on these placements, which increases to 28 weeks in Year 5.
Our extramural studies (EMS) are extra placements you'll need to complete outside our course structure. In Years 1 and 2, we'll support you to gain 12 weeks of pre-clinical EMS experience. Then, in Years 3 to 5, you'll need to gain a further 26 weeks of clinical EMS experience. These are usually done at veterinary practices, and the University does not provide financial support.
