“I love that the Gateway Course has allowed
me an extra year to settle into university
life. I feel more equipped for BVetMed and
university life than I did before Gateway. It’s
allowed me to make industry contacts and
develop a relationship with my lecturers and
university staff.
Learning how to learn has been the biggest
benefit of Gateway. Workshops on how to
use online databases, reference effectively
and finding reliable sources have helped
me in my coursework and exams.”
