A Levels are of concern, and the key one is Biology (the other 2 can be anything you want). GCSEs at grade 4 or above in it's Maths (for numeracy skills), science, and English Language (for literacy)

The following are the job profiles for vetinary nurses:

https://www.careerpilot.org.uk/job-sectors/animal/job-profile/veterinary-nurse

Note, you can get in via apprenticeships, college, or a degree. The key thing is that any course you want to do needs to specifically approved by the RCVS, otherwise it's useless

See the following degrees and diploma as examples:

https://www.hartpury.ac.uk/university/courses/higher-education-diplomas/diploma-in-professional-studies-veterinary-nursing/

There are 16 fully accredited universities/colleges and 27 fully accredited active courses. I am not going through every one of them.

Thank you

Entry requirements ........
You'll usually need: at least 1 A level, or equivalent, for a foundation degree. 2 or 3 A levels, or equivalent, including biology for a degree.

order to enrol on an approved Veterinary Nurse course, you will need at least five GCSEs at grade C/4 or above in Maths, English Language and Science.
