Yeh... the only places where Vet Sci is 5 years and will allow you to register with the RCVS is at Liverpool and Bristol.
Every other VetSci course is 3 years and you don't qualify as a vet at the end.
Yep I agree its very confusing

Wahey!

Erm...yeah I think I'm the only one doing it on here, so here goes.....

So its a 3 year degree all at Camden, for basically people who can't quite get the alevel results you need to get onto the vetmed course. The majority of the people on vetsci are people who applied for vetmed originally, and either didn't get an offer or didn't make the offer grades (like me!!). The course is almost exactly the same as the vetmed, except, less anatomy and no animal husbandry stuff, which sucks. Then after you do vetsci., you can graduate and do vetmed (or something else of course!).

So yeah....The year group is pretty small too, so you know everyone which is cool - erm...any questions- ask me!!
