“I have always loved working with animals.
It was only after working in practice when
I considered university as a next step in my
career. Everyone is of the same focus on animal
welfare/care and the RVC is very welcoming to
new students. I absolutely love linking the theory
to the practice, understanding the reasonings
behind clinical signs.

The RVC is an amazing university which
provides nursing students with academic
and practical skills that creates brilliant RVNs.
When I graduate, I would love to gain further
experience in practice. However, something
tells me I will never be far from the RVC.”
