Degrees and Diplomas

The College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine offers four undergraduate programmes leading to the Degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB), Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (BVM&S), Bachelor of Science in Medical Sciences and Bachelor of Science in Oral Health Sciences.
