What subjects are for Veterinarian?

Answer 1

For UK applicant's you need lots of A/A* Grades at GCSE Including Maths and science. (I would advice you to ask your teachers whether you can take triple science) More importantly though you will need to gain at least AAB at A levels and you must get an A in Chemistry and Biology however you can then choose the 3rd A level which you must get a minimum of a B in. However i would advice you take maths or physics or some other science subjects such a zoology. Beware you cannot include general studies.

The other thing they ask for is work experience It does differ from place to place and the universities will take into consideration where you live. I would advise you to get:

*2 weeks in a small surgery

*2 weeks in a large surgery (Equine and/or farm animals)

*2 weeks on a dairy farm/ livestock farm

*Another 2 weeks at zoo's/Kennels/Catteries/Protection centres/Wildlife centres/Grooming parlours

If like me, you live nowhere near to a farm i would advise to go to a farm for the odd day or increase the amount and type of other experience that you have gained! By the way you don't have to do your experience in blocks you can do it for example once a week for a couple of months or a couple of hours a week.

I know that that probably fills up most of your time however it would be good also to gain other achievements such as horse riding (Though don't go horse crazy, universities have been known to reject people because of this) certificate/qualifications related to animals such as a horse riding certificate. Duke of Edinburgh award. Acting/Sport activities. Peer support or other voluntary help. I would also try to gain a position of responsibility, universities really do look up to that. For example I became a prefect at my school for a couple of years, which enables me to talk about being responsible in the interviews.

I would also think about whether you would like to do the BMAT test or whether not. There are five universities where you do not need to do the test and 2 where you do need to do it. I would suggest not going to the ones that require the BMAT test if you already have lots of stress and things to do.

On your UCAS form make yourself stand out, take your time and get help from family, connexions advisers and teachers. Do not just do it by yourself. Think about your future.

£3000-£4000 a year in tuition then between £4000-£5000 ( if not more) a year for accomadation .You also then need to pay for equipment and text books. However there is financial help with grants and student loans. You will need to study the Bvms or the separate Bvm and BvS degrees at vet school.

Answer 2

You first study animal anatomy and physiology. and foreign language classes, reading, lots of science and go to vet school to learn about medicines and types of animals
