Push for London vet students
RVC teams up with college to promote vet degrees

A push to get students from London progressing to vet degrees is taking place, following a signed agreement between the the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) and the City and Islington College (CIC).

CIC staff have agreed to advise their students, who are on extended BTEC diploma and A Level courses, about degrees offered by the RVC and encourage them to apply.

In return, the RVC has agreed to provide activities, such as teaching sessions and open days, to support CIC students with their education and ambitions.

The new arrangement – known as the progression agreement – is hoped to bring more CIC students to RVC degree programmes, where they can study veterinary medicine, bioveterinary science and veterinary nursing.

Professor Stuart Reid, the RVC's principal, commented: "This agreement marks our commitment to young people – wherever they start in life – to progression, life-long learning and articulation."

He added that they can now work together to offer opportunities at every level of education to people from a diversity of backgrounds.

Meanwhile, CIC principal Frank McLoughlin, said he hopes the relationship between the two establishments is long-term.

"It's fantastic for our students and all of our staff to feel associated with one of the most prestigious veterinary colleges in the world. That helps the circle to turn because the expectations of students get higher and we can assist them more," he explained.
