The Young Vet Weekend
Overview
The Young Vet Weekend gives students aged 15-18 a chance to test-drive life as a vet. Learn from real-life vets as they guide you through a series of interactive activities: examine animal x-rays, practise surgical techniques and take part in a simulated patient consultation. You will also get expert advice on how to get into vet school, with coaching on how to excel in applications and interviews.
You can attend either in-person in London or live online. Register now to gain an edge over other aspiring vets, and a super-curricular experience to add to your university application.

Covid-19
In the unlikely event that the in-person programme is completely cancelled because of Covid-19 then students will receive a refund.

We shall of course adhere to all Covid-related government guidelines in place at the time of the programme and keep student safety as the highest priority.
If you pay via credit because you postponed a previous booking then the credit note will be reissued to you in full.
