However there are A level equivalents like a veterinary course which lasts a few years, come out on top of that and you should be fine getting in

Answer 3

Actually, yes you do. Physics is really important in most scientific fields. Suppose per say, you have a cat that comes in the clinic with a breathing problem, you need Physics to answer you here; you must know how much oxygen to give it, and the pressure that the heart can sustain. I am not so sure about your university, but you have to check with them.

Answer 4

Simply because Biology deals with the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy of animals ! Knowledge of an animals origin and development may point a vet to the cause of its illness.
