Other ways into Veterinary Medicine?

co.uk.atie

Im a year 13 student and the only career that I’d like to do is veterinary medicine. However my predicted grades at the minute are AAB, with a B in chemistry. if I get my A level results back with AAA, my option was to take a gap year and apply to do veterinary medicine for 2026. However, if i end up with my predicted grades, is there other ways to study veterinary medicine? I am applying for courses this year in bioveterinary science and veterinary nursing, and that option would take me to a graduate course in veterinary medicine, however I have been told that enrolling in graduate courses are even more competitive than the undergrad courses and you don’t get student loans for graduate courses, and I have no idea how i would fund £40k for tuition as well as living expenses. I do not qualify for any contextual offers so I can’t get a lowered grade requirement. is there other ways I can get into veterinary medicine?

UCLan require AAB or ABB, but you should look at their entry requirements because they specify subjects.

Have you looked at Foundation/Gateway/Preliminary Year courses?

H&K sometimes offer AAB as well so don’t give up hope, but if your heart is set on Vet Med and you didn’t get the grades you might be better off resitting in your gap year rather than doing another degree and then a very expensive, and competitive graduate entry degree

Could you appeal your predicted grade? Show proof of consistent effort etc in Chemistry lessons and also loads of proof of vet med wider reading to show that you're really committed to it and willing to push yourself in Chemistry to achieve the A. You can also consider applying internationally, like in Europe (but studying in English).
