Hi,
There is a big difference bewtween veterinary medicine and veterinary nursing.
The entry requirements for the 5 + years full-time veterinary course at a University veterinary school are very high, though as a .mature student. you might get some allowance made. Write to the admissions department at the various UK vet schools and enquire. (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Nottingham,Cambrdige, Bristol and London).
A VN qualification may be acquired by working in a veterinary practice which is a registered with the RCVS as a 'VN Training Establishment' and part-time study, or by attending one of the Colleges which provide a full-time VN cousr.
For more details, contact the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons - VN Department www.rcvs.org.uk.
