“I can honestly say that my time at the RVC was the very best!
                                                              I struggled a little with my A-levels, but the RVC gave me the
                                                              chance to pursue my dreams.

                                                              The RVC was a fabulous place to study – hard work but also
                                                              offering the fun of London with the friends you make.
                                                              My qualification allowed me to combine my career with my
                                                              wanderlust and eventually led me to a tropical island working
                                                              with endangered koalas.
                                                              My daughter is now planning to follow my footsteps and go to
                                                              the RVC – we were both very impressed when we visited the
                                                              Hawkshead Campus recently.

                                                              As a family, we started Magnetic Island Koala Hospital in 2013.
                                                              Our work can be seen on Netflix – Izzy’s Koala World – and
                                                              you can see where a qualification from the RVC can take you!”
