Harper Adams launches course for aspiring vets
The course will provide a grounding in the relevant science and work experience.
The course aims to help people meet vet school entry requirements.

Harper Adams University has launched a new course for aspiring veterinary surgeons who don't yet meet the entry requirements for a veterinary medicine degree.

The BSc (Hons) Veterinary Bioscience (Accelerated) programme will provide a two-year course to support entry into veterinary medicine courses.

The curriculum aims to give students the grounding in science and relevant work experience they need to study veterinary medicine.

This will include looking at the science that underpins animal health and welfare, including animal biology and physiology, nutrition, microbiology and disease control.

The university also says that the course could interest those looking to move into other animal-related careers.

Launched this year, the course currently has places available through Clearing.

Jane Thomas, head of department, said: “While it is important to note that by studying this course you will not qualify as a vet and be able to diagnose and treat animals, it is here to help you with the knowledge you need both to progress to veterinary medicine through the graduate entry route, or to explore the whole host of other careers and opportunities a veterinary bioscience degree offers you.”

More information about the course can be found here.
