SCOTLAND’S first new vet school for more than 150 years could provide the country with an economic boost, a new report has claimed. A study by Biggar Economics found the establishment of a vet school at Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) in Aberdeen could add £28.3 million gross value added to the economy by 2030-31 – as well as create some 238 jobs. The report was released as Professor Wayne Powell (below), principal of the SRUC, spoke about its “groundbreaking model” that will allow more people to study veterinary medicine. It is hoped this will help to tackle skills shortages in the profession.

HELPING HAND: SRUC says the new vet school would help solve skills shortages in rural practices across Scotland.
Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) has unveiled plans to establish a new vet school in Aberdeen, with the first students starting in two to three years time.
SRUC says the school would help solve skills shortages in rural veterinary practice, food production, food safety and animal and public health across Scotland and provide access for potential students who would not otherwise be able to attend a vet school.
Courses would be offered in vet medicine ranging from Higher National Diploma to postgraduate degree level , and a report from BiGGAR Economics has estimated the school could add £26 million and 238 jobs to Scotland by 2030, including 178 jobs in Aberdeen city and shire.
