Biography

What made you choose your course?
I have wanted to study veterinary for 4 years as I have always worked on farms and with livestock. I also did some work experience which confirmed that’s what I wanted to do. So, Biology and Chemistry were the courses I needed for veterinary and I chose Classics because I enjoy it.

What did you most enjoy about studying at ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø?
The teachers are supportive and really push you to fulfil your potential – they encourage you to go on to higher education. I joined the VetMed academy and that was absolutely brilliant, it helped with ucas applications and personal statements and the VetMed interview prep was really helpful. I made some really good friends who I am also going to university with. I also really like the lovely campus.

Do you have any future plans?
I’m going to Bristol Vet School (I still cant believe it!) which is a 5 year course. The plan at the moment is to become a livestock veterinarian.

Any advice for someone choosing the same course as you?
Have faith! There’s lots of support at ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø for you and the staff are really invested in your success.
