Join our vet work experience today!

With a placement at a top clinic, you’ll gain practical insight into different areas of veterinary medicine. You will also gain an understanding of the daily life of a vet, helping you decide if it’s the right career for you.

Medic Mind has partnered with several top veterinary clinics just outside of London to provide students with an immersive experience. For those choosing to take part in workshops for UCAS and MMI circuits, the sessions will take place in central London. Full information, including the location of each day will be communicated to you at least a month before your start date. All residential students will travel together to the locations.

We recommend that students bring a notepad and pen to take notes (or a device to write on). In addition, students should bring a water bottle for the day. Students do not need to bring lunch as this will be provided but they might want to bring a couple of snacks to eat throughout the day. Please make sure these snacks are NUT FREE to take into account any students that may have nut allergies.

Students opting for the residential programme will stay in Ramsay Hall, part of the University College London (UCL) campus. Students will stay in single occupancy rooms with shared bathroom facilities. Male and female students will be placed in separate floors.

Students will be able to arrive on the Sunday before the start of the programme. There will be a member of the Study Mind team to greet you. Students will check out on the Friday after the programme has ended. If you would like to book an extra night accommodation (e.g. Friday night), please contact us and we can arrange this for you (dependant on availability).

Students can expect to receive a finalised timetable of their work experience week by the end of May. Students will also receive further information on what to pack/bring and pre-preparation materials by mid June so that they can prepare themselves for the programme and get the most out of their experience.
