About us

Find out about our organisation, history and values.

From 1 August 2025, the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine will be home to six schools: 

  • Edinburgh Medical School  
  • The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies
  • School of Genetics and Cancer
  • School of Population Health Sciences
  • School of Neurological and Cardiovascular Sciences
  • School of Regeneration and Repair.

Together we form a unique grouping in the UK where vets, medics and biomedical scientists work together and study the common causes of disease that affect our populations.

Our campuses, our structure, and the organisation of our degrees ensures that we have people from across our six schools breathing the same air, designing projects together and teaching in their specialist areas.
