To see some new careers materials about the veterinary profession, which were developed jointly by the veterinary schools, RCVS and Defra - go to www.walksoflife.org.uk
Here you'll find an electronic version of a brochure that was sent to all UK schools in May 2008. The electronic brochure contains links to some short videos about different aspects of veterinary work, and also links to more detailed information about the entry requirements for all the veterinary schools. Note that most veterinary schools now ask for grades AAB at A level, to include at least 2 sciences. It varies slightly from university to university, however, so do check the details.
