    Its not as strict, so they let you have more choice in placements. E.g. you need 1 week pig, dairy, stables etc, but 6 weeks of the PCEMS is choice . You can also do a set amount of clinical placements from first year. e.g. 2 weeks in first year.

    I think so, depending on the place and you need it approved.

    Where do you want to work abroad out of interest? I am not sure but have heard that they are reluctant to allow this, but if you push for it you can do this for some, but not all, of your placements. They will be more lenient if you have family abroad.
