Course Overview

Extended degree programmes are a means of accessing degree study should you not meet the entry requirements for honours degree programmes.

The extended degree in Veterinary Bioscience provides a preparatory year for students hoping to progress to veterinary bioscience, veterinary nursing or veterinary physiotherapy degrees.

Candidates will be assessed at the end of their first year of study and progress to either an ordinary degree (BSc Veterinary Bioscience only), or Honours Degree (BSc Hons). Progression will be based on prior qualifications, preparatory year performance and, for some routes, a fitness to practice assessment.
