Hi, My daughter is very keen to go to vet school, having learnt a lot about the job through work experience and talking to vets. However, she is not a fan of chemistry and cannot imagine doing two years of biology, chemistry and maths. Therefore she is keen to learn more about the 6 year courses that do not require biology or chemistry at A level. She is an academic girl so that should not be a problem but she is worried she is risking everything in case she does not get into Bristol/ Nottingham 6 year courses. Any information would be great. Thank you. We have been browsing through the university websites and they all state that you must do chemistry and biology and then it is between physics and maths. She likes biology but hates chemistry.

Why doesn't she want to do biology? The job is massively involved in biology, and I don't see how you could learn the trade without doing biology in some way. Edit: Do you mean she doesn't want to do biology for A Levels? Biology is a huge part of Vet Science, and if she doesn't do it now she'll be doing it for six years on the course anyway! Also she'll find it much more difficult without having a basic knowledge of the subject. Edit: Chemistry is only a very small part of it, usually you don't even need it. Maths is a good subject to have as it helps with dosage calculation. (I though maths was compulsory anyway.)
