The School of Veterinary Medicine follows a distributed model for final year teaching and we are actively partnered with leading veterinary practices and local research institutes whose clinicians and scientists participate in teaching throughout the undergraduate curriculum

The School of Veterinary Medicine is seeking to recruit a proactive individual as Veterinary Partnerships and Animal Resources Manager. This exciting role would be ideally suited to a veterinary nurse, or practice manager wanting to develop a career in administration and management, whilst remaining within the veterinary industry. We would also welcome candidates with significant experience in administering and supporting veterinary placements.

This is a new role in the School which recognises the needs of our growing network of veterinary practices and off-site teaching facilities.

The post-holder will report to the Head of Veterinary Partnerships and Animal Resources, helping to ensure that the School’s educational resources meet the quality standards of relevant professional bodies. 

We seek an individual with excellent organisational, administrative and communication skills and a willingness to work with colleagues and external partners to deliver high quality veterinary educational resources; with this in mind, occasional travel to partner organisations locally and throughout the UK will be required. Applicants must have broad knowledge or experience of UK veterinary practice.

Informal enquiries are welcomed and should be addressed to Claire Gotto, Head of Veterinary Partnerships and Animal Resources via c.gotto@surrey.ac.uk

Company

The University of Surrey was established on 9 September 1966 with the grant of its Royal Charter, but its roots go back to a late 19th-century concern to provide greater access to further and higher education for the poorer inhabitants of London.

The forerunner of the University, the Battersea Polytechnic Institute was founded in 1891 and began concentrating on science and technology from around 1920, teaching day and evening students for degrees of the University of London.

Its academic reputation steadily grew to the point where, in 1956, it was one of the first institutions to be designated a 'college of advanced technology'. It was renamed Battersea College of Technology in 1957.

By the beginning of the 1960s, the College had outgrown its main building in Battersea Park Road and in 1962 it was decided to move the institution to Guildford.

Shortly afterwards, in 1963, the Robbins Report proposed that Battersea College should expand and become a university awarding its own degrees.

One of the most significant site developments by the University has been the Surrey Research Park, which was opened by HRH The Duke of Kent in 1985.

The Park currently accommodates more than 100 companies, which employ 2,500 staff engaged in research and development activities – many of which relate closely to the work of the University's own faculties.

Given the space constraints on Surrey’s main Stag Hill campus, in the 2000s the University expanded to a new campus at Manor Park.

A little over a mile from Stag Hill and connected to it by a network of footpaths and cycle paths, Manor Park is now home to a large area of student accommodation, as well as Surrey Sports Park and the School of Veterinary Medicine. 

 

In 2006, Surrey International Institute-DUFE (SII-DUFE) was established as a joint academic partnership institution between the University of Surrey and Dongbei University of Finance and Economics in Dalian, China.

SII-DUFE offers top-quality programmes in subjects aligned with Business Management and Tourism Management, combining high academic standards and employment success in a pleasant coastal city in the north-east of the country.

Our long-standing relationship with the Guildford School of Acting (GSA) became even closer in 2009, as the conservatoire – which specialises in acting and musical theatre – signed a merger agreement with the University.

Since 2000, our estate has been transformed through a £400 million building development and improvement programme – including £130 million on student accommodation, £36 million on Surrey Sports Park, £16 million on the Library and Learning Centre and £4.5 million on the Ivy Arts Centre.

On top of this has come further investment in the form of a new £45 million School of Veterinary Medicine and £70 million support for the 5G Innovation Centre, one of the world’s first research centres dedicated to mobile communications and future internet technologies.

In 2016, Surrey celebrated the 125th anniversary of its foundation. While the institution has evolved significantly in that time, our commitment to first-rate academic activity and real-world solutions has remained constant.

With our growing expertise in fields such as sustainable energy, telecommunications, space, disease control and health, we are passionate about turning the new knowledge we generate into practical innovations that improve people’s lives.

We were delighted to have been named University of the Year in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2016.

The University Archives provide information about our history and organisation, conveying evidence of its policies and decisions, showing what the University has done and why, how it is organised and operates, and its effect on the wider community.

Established in accordance with a resolution of the University Senate of 7 February 1984, the University Archive collections is the official repository for the historical records of the University of Surrey.

Records go back to the founding of Battersea Polytechnic in 1891. We collect copies of current publications, as well as minutes and other documents once they are no longer required for day-to-day business purposes.

The archives include:

  • Minutes of Senate, the University Council and their committees, and the Polytechnic Governing Body
  • Records of academic and administrative departments
  • Financial records, including annual accounts and balance sheets
  • Records of relations with external bodies and associated institutions
  • Publications, including annual reports, calendars, magazines, prospectuses, newsletters, student magazines and handbooks
  • Student enrolment records
  • Staff records
  • Examination papers
  • Records of University and Polytechnic land, estates and facilities
  • Photographs and items of historic interest, such as badges, clothes and trophies.

The University Archive Collections are managed by Archives and Special Collections who also hold a large number of other archive collections.
