Vetenary science access corse for vet med

Hi I want to become a vet but I don't have the GCSE grades to do a level science so I was thinking of doing an Access course after my level 3 animal management course the same college offers Access to higher education vetenary and zoology but I'm not sure if they'll accept it I'm hoping to apply for Bristol

What GCSEs do you have? Bristol require C in Maths and English. They are very receptive to Access courses, but I would check with them that the one you want to do meets their requirements because it'll need a specific number of units in certain subjects. If the course is Access to HE Veterinary, I can't see why it wouldn't have the right ones, but it's still best to check.

Yes I'll check with my college I have GCSES 65554444 they are quite low so I think maybe I could apply for the foundation years aswell
