YOUR CAREER

You will be entitled to practise as a Registered Veterinary Nurse as soon as you have earned your degree and registered as an
associate member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS). Our graduates go on to enjoy a wide range of careers in
the veterinary field, including positions in small animal practices, mixed practices, equine practices, farm/livestock environments,
wild animal environments and wildlife conservation.

“I monitored anaesthetics, took blood samples,
placed catheters and provided hydrotherapy for
neurology patients.
“I already feel like I am a vet nurse.
The placements promote learning on the job.
The clinical coaches allow you to get stuck
in and learn through experience. I feel I will
definitely be prepared for my first day at work
after I have qualified.”
