Mature vet student 2024 (Liverpool)

Hi! I am starting veterinary science at university of Liverpool this September. Just wanted to see if there was anyone else who already has an offer? Not for anything in particular, but would be nice to have other people to get excited/nervous with ha!
I’m 24 and already from Liverpool so I’ll be living at home, so could also answer things about living in Liverpool, as I’ve been here all my life. Could also answer any application/ interview questions if anyone is applying.

It will be a full vet degree interview not just for the foundation year. There’s plenty of articles / videos online to help you prepare

Hi Sophie! I’m also a mature student starting in 2025 (28 F). Looking forward to meeting! Would also love to hear any experience from the previous class on being a mature student and how it was to fit in with peers!

Hi, looking forwards to meeting too!
I would love to hear others feedback and tips 😅
Would also love to hear if anyone had any tips/advice on finding this degree as a second degree. From what I have read, there isn’t much available 😢

Hey! Congrats on your offer to Liverpool Vet School! 🎉 Vet med is such an exciting (and intense) journey, and it’s great to connect with others starting out.
Since you're already familiar with Liverpool, you’ve got an advantage in settling in! The first year can be overwhelming with all the anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology content, but don’t worry—it gets easier with the right approach.
If you ever need any guidance on coursework, assignments, or study strategies, feel free to reach out. I’ve been helping students with vet-related subjects, and I know how tricky balancing everything can be. Wishing you all the best as you start your vet med journey! 🐾
