As a veterinary student, you’ll learn about the medical health and wellbeing of animals. The subject is incredibly broad and gives students an extensive insight into the diagnosis and prevention of animal diseases, injuries, and disorders.
Veterinary degrees are very hands-on and diverse, making them perfect for students that prefer to learn in different ways. Students will have countless opportunities to encounter and interact with a vast range of animals during their studies.
Studying for a veterinary degree can be very rewarding, especially if you’re passionate about animals. In addition to learning how to keep animals happy and healthy, you'll also learn practical skills to help and improve the lives of their owners and carers.
