With relatively little movement in the top 10 universities for veterinary science, the most notable change since last year is that Utrecht University and the University of Liverpool have switched places. Last year, Utrecht were ninth while Liverpool were fifth, but this year those positions have been reversed.

Three universities feature in this year’s ranking which weren’t included last year. They are the Vetsuisse Faculty Bern and Zurich, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and the University of Milan.
