If anyone else wishes to make a contribution to this thread, about entry into a University veterinary school, please state from which country you are calling, since the entry requirements do vary from country to country. I assume that Tanya is in the UK, since she refers to the RCVS. However, she seems to be a bit confused about ' a year's experience of being a vet assistant'by Walter Beswick - Veterinary Students
Hi, sam, I am pretty sure that it is Physics OR maths. Wby Walter Beswick - Veterinary Students
Hi, Emma, Thank you for that update. Wby Walter Beswick - Veterinary Students
To both Laura and Jess, I think you will have to include Physics in your group of A level subjects even to be considered for a place at a veterinary school. The course takes five years full time, and includes a lot of vacation work. Some , but not all, univeristies offer exemption from first year if you have good A levels in Bilogy, Chemistry and Physics. You must enquire from each of the Uby Walter Beswick - Veterinary Students
Hi, Emma, I gather from your e-mail address that you live in New Zealand. I know only of university veterinary school entry requirements in the UK. Your school careers master or mistress should be able to help you find out from a veterinary school in NZ or Australia what the requirements are there. If they are like the UK, they will be quite high and your success in school exams will probablyby Walter Beswick - Veterinary Students

Hi, Claire, I am afraid, from what you tell me, that your ambition to become a veterinary surgeon is unlikely to be fulfilled. There is no Open University course available. There are seven universities in the UK with veterinary schools, and the competition for places at one of them is very high. A levels at A or A* in Chemistry, Physics and Biology at least are essential. The course is fullby Walter Beswick - Veterinary Students

Hi, Lauren, The requirements to get into veterinary school vary from country to country, and you do not say where you live, so I am not really able to help. Probably the best person to advise you is the careers master/mistress at your school, who should have all the relevant information. Walterby Walter Beswick - Veterinary Students

Hi,Lauren, The veterinary course in UK universities is one of those in highest demand, and consequently one of the most difficult to get into. You need a science based grup of highers - Chemistry, Biology and Physics or Maths. all at A* or A grades. If you cannot achieve these, you could think about becoming a Veterinary Nurse, where rather lower grades are required. You would not get much beby Walter Beswick - Veterinary Students
