|History=The foundation of The Veterinary College, London, in 1791 marked the establishment of the veterinary profession in the UK. In the racing seasons of 1769 and 1770 the racecourses of England were dominated by one horse, Eclipse. Eclipse was a sufficiently important horse to make it necessary to carry out a post mortem, but there was no veterinary school and no qualified veterinarian in the country except the Frenchman Charles Benoit Vial de St Bel. St Bel attended the corpse of the famous racehorse and subsequently published his post-mortem findings. The Veterinary College, London, was born in the parish of St Pancras in 1791, on the present-day site of The Royal Veterinary College’s Camden Town campus. On 4 January 1792, the first four students attended the College to begin a three-year course intended to cover all aspects of the veterinary art.

|Education=The College provides a number of [http://www.rvc.ac.uk/Undergraduate/Index.cfm undergraduate courses], including the Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine (BVetMed) as well as accelerated graduate entry BVetMed and a combined BVetMed, BSC (Hons) degree. BSc (Hons) degrees are also provided in veterinary nursing, bioveterinary sciences and veterinary pathology, and a foundation degree in veterinary nursing is also offered. The College also offers the [http://www.rvc.ac.uk/Undergraduate/VetGateway/Index.cfm Gateway course]; a one-year preparatory course, designed to equip students with the knowledge, understanding and skills you need to join a career-building veterinary degree course. This is a widening participation programme for UK non-selective state school students whose parents have not been to university and who receive, or would be eligible for, an Education Maintenance Allowance payment. The [http://www.rvc.ac.uk/Postgraduate/Distance/Index.cfm Distance Learning] department offer an attractive option for those with work, family or financial constraints, to gain a London University qualification without coming to London. In addition to these undergraduate courses, the [http://www.rvc.ac.uk/Postgraduate/Index.cfm Graduate School] provides masters courses, PhD studentships and clinical training scholarships in a wide range of disciplines. The College's [http://www.rvc.ac.uk/CPD/Courses/Index.cfm Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Unit] is the UK's largest academic provider of educational services to the veterinary community.

|Research=Research at the Royal Veterinary College is of international quality. The Research Assessment Exercise in 2008 ranked the RVC as England's best veterinary school, amongst institutions whose research is exclusively veterinary related. A total of 55% of their submitted academic staff were viewed as producing "world class" or "internationally excellent" research. As a self-governing college within the University of London, a unique blend of basic and clinical scientists  work together in interdisciplinary teams within one research division. The College has built a very strong academic discipline in Veterinary Epidemiology and Public Health with complementary research interests. All are veterinarians and they facilitate interactions between basic and clinical scientists, in many areas of their research.
