Ages 15-18 • London OR Live Online
This experience is almost fully-booked and we shall close registration in the next few days.
The Young Vet Summer Experience gives students aged 15-18 a 360-degree, fully immersive experience of working as a vet in London.
Over the course of 15 days, students aged 15-18 will have some of the most prestigious experiences of veterinary medicine that one can imagine: shadowing top vets in an animal hospital; conducting consultations with real patients and clients; and attending a private coaching session with vet school admission officers and current vet students on how to excel in your vet school applications.
Also available on the Summer Experience are immersive visits to Greenwich Equine Centre and a city farm.
Join us for a life-changing experience that will serve as an outstanding differentiator on your university application form and set you up for a future as a successful vet.

In the unlikely event that the in-person programme is completely cancelled because of Covid-19 then students will receive a refund. We have never yet had to cancel a London summer experience, having successfully delivered programmes during the summers of 2020 and 2021, with strict social distancing and excellent feedback. 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.
