Information for North American applicants

UCAS

All students (apart from North American College students who apply through VMCAS) must apply via UCAS online. You may list a total of five courses on the UCAS application form, but only four can be for veterinary medicine and science programmes (D100 and D101).

Deadline: 15th October for the following year’s entry.

Please visit the UCAS website for further information.

International and EU students may find the UCAS for non-UK students information on the UCAS website helpful.

Work Experience Questionnaires

All applicants (except North American VMCAS applicants) must complete the work experience questionnaire and send it by post to the Admissions Office, Royal Veterinary College, Royal College Street, London NW1 0TU. The completed Questionnaire must be received at the College by the UCAS deadline of 15th October.

BMAT

You must register for BMAT early, even though the actual test is not taken until after your UCAS application is submitted. See also: the BMAT entry requirements for BVetMed and RVC BMAT Information.

Repeat applications

In view of the large number and high quality of new candidates coming forward each year, we are normally unable to consider more than one repeat application. Your previous application and accompanying documents/correspondence will be attached to your new application.

Applicants who re-sit their A levels and re-apply are required to have achieved at least grades BBC including a grade B in Biology at first sit. Applicants re-sitting other qualifications should contact the Admissions Office for information about minimum grades required at first sit.
