Alumni Networking Groups

Alumni Across the Globe

Whether you studied as an international student, or are now an ex-pat Royal Veterinary College graduate living overseas, you remain a valued member of our alumni community - these pages are for you. Whichever country you live in now we would like to keep in touch with you, and help you keep in touch with each other.

There are now a number of official alumni ambassadors who help us run networking groups in countries around the world. These groups help former students keep in touch with each other and up-to-date with what is happening at the Royal Veterinary College, as well as providing networking opportunities in each country.

International alumni networks provide a warm welcome to prospective students, recent graduates and visiting lecturers. They organise social and professional alumni events, support graduates seeking employability opportunities, and forge professional and social networks with each other.

So far we have the below groups but our international networking groups are growing worldwide!

  • Boston
  • Hong Kong
  • New York
  • LA

If you are interested in joining one of the groups or know more about what they are do, please see the relevant sub-sections on this page.

  • grow your social and professional networks
  • expand your career opportunities through professional networking events and career mentoring
  • give back to the Royal Veterinary College with your time and local knowledge
  • meet prospective students from your country to share your experience of RVC
