Equine Veterinary SIG

We provide practical workshops, guest lectures, research opportunities, and industry networking events to bridge the gap between university learning and the real-world equine industry.

Working closely with leading veterinarians, hospitals, and professional bodies, the Equine SIG exposes students to diverse career pathways, current research, and advancements in equine veterinary medicine. Our community fosters collaboration, mentorship, and hands-on experience, helping students develop the skills and professional connections needed for a successful career in equine veterinary medicine.

The Equine Special Interest Group (Equine SIG) is a student-led organisation for veterinary students passionate about equine health, performance, and welfare.
