The foundation degree in veterinary nursing runs over three years with students spending the second year out in a veterinary placement where they will gain the essential clinical skills and competencies required by the RCVS to become a registered veterinary nurse. At Plumpton, students will work with a range of small animals including exotics species and have access to the Animal Education Centre which houses over a 100 species. We have been delivering veterinary nursing degrees since 2009. The course incorporates theoretical modules and key practical skills and competencies required but the industry. Students will find themselves honing their professional skills while spending the second year of study in a veterinary work placement to complete the essential skills log. Our course maps fully across to the RCVS Day One Skills and Competencies for Veterinary Nurses. This allows successful students to be eligible for joining the RCVS' professional register of veterinary nurses.
