What students say about veterinary-nursing

Couldn’t be happier to have picked SRUC for veterinary nursing! It’s very practical based and really hands on which I love a lot. The lecturers are lovely and in our online (for now) lectures they make sure to try and keep us engaged and give us breaks as they know online learning can be a bit difficult and most of all they try to make it fun! If you’re looking to do veterinary nursing in Scotland I’d definitely recommend SRUC - you might be a bit hesitant at first since it’s out in the countryside and not a city but it’s definitely worth it for the practical learning than you receive on farm etc.

Lovely area to study in with it being rural but it’s also close to the shops for essential. The library open 24 hours is also a helpful for studying , as it is a change of scenery from my bedroom. The university could be improved by making student union events more affordable and for catered students, a range of meal options at dinner would improve the catered facilities.

The university’s library offers a wealth of resources and quiet study zones, and also collaborative workspaces. I value the 24/7 access during critical periods; everything I need to support my learning is available. loanable laptops and specialized software, it supports cutting-edge research. Ideal for self-driven learners valuing adaptability and hands-on support. The staff are knowledgeable and the librarians go above and beyond to assist with research, and academic advisors provide personalized guidance to help navigate projects.

What students say about veterinary-nursing

I’m really enjoying my time at NTU! The academic environment is fantastic—lecturers are passionate about their subjects, and the courses are engaging and well-structured. There’s plenty of support available, whether it’s academic help, career advice, or mental health services. The social side is also a huge plus! There are so many societies, sports teams, and events that make it easy to meet new people and get involved. The campus itself is a great place to study, with modern facilities, good libraries, and plenty of study spaces.

What students say about veterinary-nursing

The atmosphere and location of my uni really reminds me of a professional setting you would see in a successful workplace. For me, it enhances my work ethic and allows me to to focus on my work in peace. The best aspect about my uni experience would be the library as it is a peaceful and mostly quiet place. Moreover, the aesthetic of the uni looks really modern too, which I really find appealing. There aren't many aspects Ulster University can improve upon. Although, the fact that it is located in the middle of the city can be a little disadvantageous for me due to traffic and it being a generally crowded area.

What students say about veterinary-nursing

I'm currently studying BSc animal behaviour and welfare at Myerscough, the campus is lovely and the lecturers are all really understanding and helpful. The only downfalls are that the location isn't close to the town centre so it can be difficult to get to shops if you don't drive (there are buses though).

Lovely countryside quiet environment. Each subject has its own part on campus which makes it easy to find. Bus fares could be improved as I am a university student living at home and it costs me £30 a week to commute as I also need to catch a public bus.

What students say about veterinary-nursing

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.

Studying veterinary nursing

Veterinary nurses play an important part in the care and rehabilitation of sick and injured animals and a veterinary nursing degree will give you the perfect base to start your career in this field. You’ll be taught theoretical practice, as well as be given practical training which will help you develop important skills in a working environment. The kind of topics that you’ll likely cover during a veterinary nursing degree include things like animal welfare and nutrition, diagnosing diseases, and emergency care and surgery, while working on your general handling and knowledge of animals. Once graduated, many students go on to become veterinary nurses or undertake further training to specialise in an area like exotic pets or animal dentistry.
