        “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.”
