Course summary
Course Overview Would you like to become a vet but don't have a science background? Open up the possibility of an exciting veterinary career with our gateway to Veterinary Medicine. The Foundation Year to Veterinary Medicine and Surgery will give you the opportunity to progress to our 5 year BVMS and other BSc (Hons) programmes. Progression to the BVMS course will be subject to achieving 60% or above (aggregated grade) with no less than 50% in any one module. Additionally, successful completion of a multiple mini interview (MMI) will be required, in line with all entrants to Y1 of the BVMS course. Students who achieve an aggregate grade of 40-59% across all modules each semester, who achieve less than 50% in an individual module, or who are unsuccessful at MMI will be eligible to progress onto our BSc Bioveterinary Sciences programme or other animal science BSc courses offered by our partner institution Myerscough College and University Centre. This course is suitable for students from a wide range of backgrounds typically under-represented in veterinary medicine. Modules include science relevant to veterinary medicine, integrated bioveterinary sciences, and animal husbandry. They are delivered to help prepare you to study veterinary medicine. If you don't meet the usual academic requirements, this gateway course is perfect for you. Why study with us
