About this course

Our preliminary year is for able students who do not have the required science qualifications for our five-year course but have high academic achievement in non-science and vocational subjects, or extensive experience.

You'll study integrated modules that show how basic science subjects interlink, including:

  • animal biology

  • animal care and behaviour

  • chemistry

    After successfully completing the preliminary year you'll automatically progress to our five-year Veterinary Medicine and Surgery course.
