What GCSE'S do i need to take to become an equine vet?

Answer 1

I recommend that for GCSE you still keep your choices open, as you might not want to become a vet in 2-3 years! I would chose Double Award Science (or minimum two sciences), Mathematics, and every other standard subject. Try to get good grades. When you move to sixth form, and you still want to become a vet, then you will need to concentrate your studies on science.

Answer 2

Well for the two Veterinary Universities I want to go to you need: An A/B in Maths; in Physics you could get away with a B; You need an A in Chemistry and Biology then I think its more A's and B's then you will need to go on to do A levels in Chemistry and Biology at an A grade and then a subject at your choice at an A at A level by the way they only really want traditional subjects at GCSE like History and R.E and Art etc. (thats what i've taken) then you need at one of the Uni's its 2 weeks work experience at a VETS and then at the other its 10 weeks working on a farm in a Vets and i think its in another animal environment but i'm not sure, as long as your handeling big and small animals but make sure your in a safe place with adults because you dont want anything to scratch or bite you as that could be dangerous. But i'd go for the 10 weeks because then you have more experience but its up to you. It's a 5 year course at both Schools and by the end you will be a qualified Vet. The salary depends however i've seen that in a big Veterinary it starts off around £35,000 (full time) then can go as high as around £80,000-£100,000, if you work in a small Vets then the owners can pay you what they want. It's really competitive but i'm sure you'll do it if you really want to and aim the highest you can at everything. And if you don't get the decent GCSE's and get C's or something then you can train to be a Veterinary Nurse and then go on to train to be a surgeon and by the time you're in about your late 20's you should be qualified! It is hard but it will be worth it once you've done it. Also I have a plan that if I don't get any decent qualifications which is unlikely but anyway I will work to own my own Kennels then become a Vet Nurse and work up to Surgeon. And this is only English qualifications I don't know what they are anywhere else. Just carry on doing tons and tons of research! Hope that helped though! :D

Answer 3

To become a vet you will require high (or even top) grades in all your GCSE subjects as it is a very competitive field to enter with far more applicants than places available. In general Chemistry is the most important along with the other sciences (Biology and Physics). Mathematics and English are also key subjects.

The reason Chemistry is considered the most important subject is because the majority of veterinary courses require Chemistry at A-level as a pre-requisite. Others also specify Biology as a co-requisite. Any other one or two from the following list is also recommended: Biology, Physics and Maths.

Answer 4

GCSE grades aren't as important as A-Level grades. As long as the GCSE grades are A-C and you can get onto the relevant A-Levels then these are the grades that count. Your probably going to need 3 A's or higher and an AS at A

Answer 5

u need bioligy chemistry physics english and computering

Answer 6

Maths,Biology, Chemistry and Physics. For more information go on university websites and pick the course of ur choice then go to course requirements

Answer 7

biology would be the best option however you will probably fine applied science a more suitible choice as you learn all about it in a more detaild and productive way.
