RVC timetable

Hi! I'm a current first-year at RVC. For the timetable, we usually start at 9 or 10 and finish at 3 or 4. We don't have 9-5s very often. When we do we have a gap in between which is great for studying and catching up on lectures.
In terms of animal handling, I don't know what the other schools do, but we have practicals during reading week usually which is twice a term!
If you have any other questions don't hesitate to PM me.

hey how many days are you doing practical work like labs or clinical? are most days purely lectures

Hi, can I ask if you’re in 5x a week?

This was a question I asked students during campus tours and interview day... the consensus was that lectures are not compulsory attendance, but practicals are. One student encouraged the prospect of staying home to watch lectures online. If my application is successful, this will be my plan as I live commutable distance from both campus'.

Hi, I’m currently holding a deferral entry for 2025 as I wasn’t able to enter in 2024 due to personal circumstances. It was never a clear answer if we’re required to be in 5 times a week. As I live an hour away from the campus this would be very convenient to study at home for lectures.

Oooh, exciting!! I'm still waiting to hear. It's sooo nerve wracking.
Wednesdays are a half day due to sports & socials... but I am planning on watching lectures online and travelling into campus when necessary 🙃

If you have any questions, let me know and I can add you on social media 🙂
