Bachelor GPA

A 2:2 first degree in an animal science or science subject. Alternatively, we will consider a 2:1 first degree in a BSc non-animal science or a BSc non-science subject.

Animal handling experience

You'll be required to have a good working knowledge of the care, management and handling of dogs and horses. This should amount to at least six weeks of animal handling and general care experience - three with dogs and three with horses. Shadowing of a veterinary physiotherapist is not required at this stage. Additionally, a minimum of five working days in a veterinary practice is required, ideally with a mix of large and small animals. This does not have to be in one block. Owning your own animals will not be sufficient. If you are unsure, please contact us to check whether your animal handling experience is adequate.

Typical examples are working at a stables and working at a kennels. Dog grooming and dog walking, for example, would not be sufficient.

We take into consideration previous work experience, but we do ask that your work experience has ideally taken place in the last 12 months.

Read our guidance for pre-course work experience (.docx)

We have produced a template form with all the details we need about your pre-course work experience. This should be completed by the person supervising you. This form will only be for new experience completed after your original application for the course, which becomes a condition of offer if successful at interview.

We welcome applications from qualified veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses, and human physiotherapists.
