communication plastinated specimens, most of these
come with an online “potcast” which

“The gateway year provided me with additional
knowledge and experience which enabled
me to progress onto the five year BVetMed
course. The Gateway year provided me with
the environment to develop and enhance
my biological knowledge which made me
feel more confident about progressing into
subsequent years. There were also additional
development sessions supporting our
transition to university level. It was really
helpful and reassuring to hear from gateway
alumni during these sessions.”
