Vet Work experience for Surrey uni

So Surrey have said in their 2022 application form that applicants need 4 weeks of experience, with 1 being in a practice. I currently have 150 hours (over 4 weeks) from 2 farms and 2 stables and I’ve done the online MOOC course which they accept as 2 weeks, but non in a veterinary practice like they specifically ask for, does this mean I will get rejected straight away when I apply in October?
Thanks :smile:

yes I believe it would - but you have 2 months to find a vet practice and things are opening up now. Email them directly to confirm

You won’t get rejected because Surrey have given time until January to obtain all the work experience :smile:
But definitely do get it before this deadline because Surrey behaved very badly with some candidates who met their offers last August. Basically they'd made too many offers and then looked for ways to refuse students using their work experience as the motive even when the basic requirements had be met! ( parents of vet med thread) So really there will be NO wriggle room in this respect!!
