Vet science as a mature student?????

Hiya, bin away 4 awhile so apologies to any1 who answered my Q.

Now, I%26#039;m thinking about changing career, the only thing I%26#039;d love is work with animals, but changing to something with money, so the obvious thing here is vet. science. I%26#039;ve A levels in science but a fair while ago. If there is any1 there who knows what the chances are for matue student in this field, i would really appreciate your opinion/ help in this. from the info I%26#039;ve got, its all biased towards younger people (I%26#039;d really like it if I could realistically make it in this, and how, though I dont imagine I can,..) thanx! Also, Ive plenty offers in finance etc from contacts, its just that vet science was a dream from being younger that i havent let go off, cheersall!

There is no bias towards younger students. Mature student status is actually easier to get than entrance straight from high school. Since you have A levels, I%26#039;m assuming you have the grades. That%26#039;s all that matters. Get into contact with advisors for the school you are planning to attend. Good luck!

It will depend on what A Level grades you got. I%26#039;ve seen some UCAS data for people applying to start courses this year (2007) and Vet Sciences applications have shot up over 40% from last year- so the competition for places is going to be very tough! Get advice now from institutions that you are interested in.

Your age will not and should not go against you. You may even have the added benefit that you are seen to have life experience and will take your studies more seriously than the average 18 year old undergrad.

Also, find out if you can do Vet Sciences with a Foundation year - the foundation year fills in all the knowledge gaps for people who have not studied for years or who don%26#039;t have exactly the right qualifications.

Good luck!

There is no bias when mature students apply for a university course.

The best University for Vet Science is Bristol.

check with the schools, admission officers will usually discuss what you have to do. Are you in the UK? I don%26#039;t know how things work over there but in the US, vet school take older students. I have 3 students in my class over 35.
