Fourth year students are welcome from September onwards, which helps us coordinate our team's time and give you the best experience.Veterinary Nursing PlacementsWe welcome final-year veterinary nursing students and registered veterinary nurses.If you're earlier in your studies, come back and see us once you've built your foundational skills.
