Vet Med via Access to HE Science deadline dates

Hey,

I’m a little confused about what I’m trying to ask, but I’m sure somebody on the site will be able to give me some clarity anyway.

I’m planning to start the Access to HE in Science via one of the online providers in September/October this year. All going well, it will be completed within 9-12 months.

Could somebody please make clear to me the dates by which I would need to apply for Vet Med at various unis.. and also the dates I would have the grades from the online access course?

Basically, during the access course I would apply to universities (hypothetically receiving a conditional offer) and then upon completion of the access course, I would let the uni know the grade?

When would the vet med course begin in 2025? How late can I receive my access course grade in order to confirm with the university and still get on to vet med the same year?

Hope this makes sense,
Thanks kindly

Vet med deadlines are usually around mid October, and usually the course starts around mid/late September.

I’m unsure on how and when to update the unis of grades with it being an online course, as usually the teachers send off your predicted grades and your actual grades.
I have a friend who’s doing an online midwifery access course, and though a lot of the course she’s been doing by herself, she has also been allocated a tutor to contact with for advice and assistance, and I think this tutor is the one who updates on grades, so I’m unsure if this might be the same way for your online course?

You have to apply by October on Ucas for vet med, dentistry and medicine. You need to make sure you complete all the modules needed on HE as usually there are a few extra modules you need to complete (check with the unis your wanting to go to to check this - usually same place as you find the a level and gcse required grades.
