Veterinary Science with Pre-Veterinary Year

This widening participation initiative is designed to facilitate access for vocational learners into veterinary science at the University of Bristol. The Pre-Veterinary Year consists of studying Chemistry and Anatomical Science, with an additional choice of Physics or Biochemistry/Physiology, in the relevant departments in Bristol, with the aim of bringing students up to A-level standard in these subject areas. Satisfactory completion of course, examination and progression requirements will allow the student to progress directly onto the 5-year BVSc programme (D100) at the University of Bristol. GRADUATES AND CANDIDATES WITH A LEVEL BIOLOGY /CHEMISTRY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR THIS COURSE.

Academic entry requirements include:

• BTEC National Diploma in an animal or science based subject (3 Distinction grades)
• Access to Science or Medicine (70%, Distinction, or 60 credits with 45 at level 3)
• City and Guilds Advanced National Certificate in Animal Care (to include the Advanced Science option)
• Mature students returning to education from the work place will also be considered

Other entry requirements include:

Work experience is an important part of an application to this course. This may include veterinary practice, as well as farm, companion and exotic animal experience. A wide range of work placements will enable a student to experience the job a veterinary surgeon does, with all its ups and downs, and still feel committed to this tough, academic course and profession.

• Departmental Admissions Statement 2013 currently being finalised.
