You need to have passed your GCSE's and your Highers with at least grades of AAABB in 5 subjects. They can be:
Chemistry (compulsory)
Physics (preferred/compulsory)
Biology (preferred)
Mathematics
English
Computing
Geography
But I strongly would recommend that you take Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Mathematics and English.
You need good GCSE grades- most people I know have mostly A* with some A's. As for A-levels, at least 2 science A-levels are required (you must do chemistry) and can do maths. i.e. at least 2 sciences and maths or 3 sciences. You need AAA in these (I know only one person who got in with less than this- AAB). You also need lots of work experience at vets and on farms. You should also take 1 other A-level that shows you are a rounded person. For example. a literary or practical subject.
English: A good, strong background is essential for university level English classes but you must also be able to write and communicate if you hope to do well in science courses. This is especially true for biology! SAT scores must be 450 or higher or else remedial courses will be required.
Math: You need to have a good background in algebra and trigonometry. Some calculus will be beneficial if offered at your school. SAT scores to enter 200 level math (calculus) are 620 or higher. SAT of 460-600 will put you into 100 level courses and you lose time in your pre-veterinary training. SAT of 440 or below means you must start in remedial courses and you should seek counsel on whether you should pursue a professional degree.
Physics: YES Physics! It is well worth your time to take this in high school. Veterinary schools require at least 1 or 2 semesters of University level physics.
Chemistry: There is a heavy chemistry requirement in pre-veterinary medicine. Be prepared or you will have to take remedial courses.
Biology: This is obvious and everyone knows you must take high school biology. Do not be disappointed when you discover that your first few years of university have few biology courses. The veterinary curriculum is mostly biology so the veterinary schools do not require many courses in the pre-veterinary years.
Other courses: Anything that will give you a well rounded education but DO NOT SKIMP ON THE BASICS LISTED ABOVE!
You need to work in a variety of different settings and aspects of animal related work. This would preferably include working with a wide range of animals, even if you plan to specialise. Horse work is generally needed. Helping at a vets, a kennels, a cattery, a farm, even an abattoir is all good experience.
You are not required to be in any specific extracurricular activities to become a veterinarian. You may want to volunteer with a shelter or an animal welfare group to gain experience.
a vet needs a highschool diploma and a university degree wich is always required you would also need experience with pets `cause vets can`t speek. do you want to become a vet? a vet needs a highschool diploma and a university degree wich is always required you would also need experience with pets `cause vets can`t speek. do you want to become a vet?
Get good grades in science subjects, get lots of work experience, apply to a vet school
Yes, you do need experience in handling and helping sick animals. This is because if you didn't have experience in being a vet, you might harm the animals or worse. If you want to become a vet, then you would have to be told what do do, practice it, then do it for real. Maybe asking a vet would help as well. Hope I helped ;D
It is unlikely you will be able to get work experience as a vet, however if you want to become a vet you should be able to get work experience at a vets near you. You will probably just watch demonstartions and learn more about animals. If you cannot get work experience at a vets, working at a farm with animals is always good.

It depends on where you live, but my understanding is that you need a minimum of a BVSc (Bachelor of Veterinary Science). I'd suggest you contact your local vet and explain that you one day would like to become a vet. They'll be able to let you know exactly what qualifications you need and you might also be able to arrange some work experience so you know exactly what it's like.
No, you do not have to complete an internship to become a veterinarian. However, as part of your application to veterinary college in the US, you will need to both list hours of veterinary experience in which you either worked with/under a licensed vet or you job-shadowed a vet and provide 2-3 letters of recommendations from current veterinarians.
it depends on were you want to work to be vet some don't require it.
Yes, you need your grade twelve education to become a vet, along with schooling from University.
you will need bbb and tfww
yes why not try a vet or zoo any of these
Yes, you can work as a lay vet tech at a veterinary clinic while you are in vet school, and for many students this is partially how they pay for vet school in the United States. A fair number of veterinary students worked in vet clinics as vet assistants or lay (unregistered) vet techs to gain the veterinary experience they needed to apply to vet school; most of them continue to work part time at the same clinics while in vet school.
