RVC Graduate Entry Vet Med – How Should I Prepare?
Hi everyone 😊
I’m currently a student veterinary nurse and I’m really interested in applying for the Graduate Entry Veterinary Medicine degree (the 4-year course rather than the traditional 5-year).
For those of you currently doing it (or who have done it):
-How intense do you find it compared to undergrad entry?
-Is the content very heavy/fast-paced because it’s condensed into 4 years?
-How manageable is the workload alongside placements and exams?
I’m trying to be realistic and prepare myself early while I finish my nursing degree. I’d love some advice on:
-Study/revision methods that work well for vet school (e.g. Anki, blurting, past paper focus, etc.)
-How you manage content-heavy modules like anatomy and pharmacology
-Any topics you’d recommend I start revising deeply now to make first year smoother
Thank you so much in advance!
