The University of Surrey (“the University”) is a university in the United Kingdom providing courses of study and examinations leading to a veterinary degree.

Their Lordships, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 3(1)(b) of the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966( 2 ), make the following Order.
Citation and commencement
1. This Order may be cited as the Veterinary Surgeons (Recognition of University Degree) (Surrey) Order of Council 2020 and comes into force on 18th February 2020.
