Veterinary Nursing degrees

Clifton has a solid, tight-knit student village feel compared to the city. It’s got everything you need on one site: great sports facilities, a massive SU, and a much more chilled, green vibe while still being a quick bus ride from the Nottingham madness. It feels like its own little world where you actually know everyone you walk past

It’s a great place to study because the academic environment is supportive, the teaching quality is strong, and there are plenty of opportunities to grow through projects, events, and collaboration with classmates. The campus community also makes it easy to feel included and motivated. It could be improved by streamlining administrative processes, offering clearer communication, and reducing unnecessary bureaucracy. More practical learning opportunities and better support during exam periods would also make a big difference.

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).

I felt there was a lot of things we missed out on in our final year because of covid but very grateful that we were able to complete our in person rotations. The University has been good at telling us what changes they are making and why.

It is a clean campus with lovely views and great tutors that are genuinely helpful and understanding. There are lots of clubs that you can join according to your interests and posters with information on to get help and support, which I think it very good to have visible. The selection of courses are fantastic and you can find out about them with ease from the website or staff as they are all friendly and very nice to speak with about concerns or questions. The smoking areas are a mess and over crowded with younger students that can quite literally get away with pretty much anything, they get a verbal warning and that's it. From verbal abuse to things being thrown at you to being shoved hard, they get away with it to outright bulling I have seen in front of me within these areas is alarming. Getting on the bus at the end of the day feels like a appointment with a near death experience as the naughty kids fights to get to the back of the bus, again pushing, shoving and elbowing is common practice, and for some reason none of them can just keep a seat belt on. But, when it comes to safe guarding it is sadly extremely lacking I have (and others) have had issues with other students sending inappropriate images or messages, even with proof and an email from the police they are still in attendance. I never got any follow up or help with this. I find this disappointing and disheartening as it does make me feel less safe on campus as though any issues will not be dealt with in a firm professional manner.

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.
