Welcome to my channel, everyone! I am currently a fifth year veterinary science student at Onderstepoort Veterinary University (OP) in South Africa. I started this channel so that I can show my journey as a veterinary science student and, hopefully one day, as a vet, by sharing my experiences with you. I would like to stress that these are only my experiences and, obviously, each student will experience this course in their own way, so let me know about your thoughts and experiences in the comments! To all the vets and future vets of the country, thank you for all your hard work and never give up. What you do for both people and animals is incredible. You are really making this world a better place. I hope you enjoy my channel and that it can help you on your journey.

hi
how was your matric results?
@@nothandothando9703 hey! I can't remember the details, but my average was around 85% 😊
Can you do a dog first aid kit 🐶
Hi I just want to know is it okay to learn at the age of 13 for a veterinarian✨.
@nicolelotter4073 it's never too early to start preparing 😁 but just remember to also appreciate the times that you can rest before you have to be too busy
Hi Nina how do apply when you have a degree (I'm currently doing my third year in Bsc Agriculture animal science) and when I am done with my degree I want to do Veterinary sciences❤❤
@sinelizwimakalana5231 Hey! As far as I know, you apply the same way as anyone else. You still submit your matric marks so that they can check if you meet the minimum requirements, but then they look at your most recent academic marks for your admittance This is as far as I know, if I'm wrong, someone please correct me 😅
absolutely love these videos and makes me so excited to go into vet❤love all of your posts!!!
Thank you for making this video it really does inspire me more do become a vet ❤a just love working with animals
As a high school student wanting to go into vet science. Would maths, biology, environmental management, and geography be suitable to apply for a BSc in zoology?
Hey hey, you need to have English, Maths and Physical Science to apply to vet and BSc, the rest are up to you 😊 but I always recommend Biology, since it lays a really good foundation
Hey don't you have any Idea of what can be done in order to increase number of vets graduates in SA and their Hospitals because we only have University of Pretoria
Hey! The ideal solution would be to open another veterinary university, because at the moment the number of graduates is limited by the number of admissions, which is limited by the resources and space available for students and animals As far as I know, finance is the main limitation, since a lot of resources are necessary to train vets, such as models, animals, space and accommodation Basically we need a few billionaires to sponsor a second campus 😂 But that would be amazing, there is such a shortage of vets Added to that is the problem that a lot of newly qualified vets immigrate as soon as they have their degrees to avoid doing their CCS years, but the university is apparently looking into ways to decrease those numbers
Hi there doc . I'm currently in grade 12 and I'm in to vet but my grade 11 marks are so low . So i want to know if i can go to university and do veterinarian with bad grade 11 marks😢
Hey! If you do BSc first, they'll look at your matric marks to make sure you meet the minimum requirements and they'll look at your university marks for admission
Would it be 'conflict of interest' if someone in your family was the vet you shadowed? In my case it was my grandpa, but he's retired now... so I'm wondering whether it would still count?
Hey! As far as I know, it would still count 😊 the type of experience you built up counts for more than the person who you shadowed
Hi l wanted to know if l would be able to transfer to a BVsc degree at UP , if lm currently doing Crop production management(bsc in agriculture) at another university. l would really love to do Veterinary medicine and it is my dream to become a Veterinarian one day
Hey! Depending on your marks, you would be able to. Whether you would be able to transfer to first or second year would depend on whether you have completed all the first year vet modules while doing Crop Production Management
Ive been watching you since grade last year (grade 10) and i start my shadowing next week Tuesday. Im so excited and so scared. I've been doing a lot of research! Thank you for documenting your life as a vet student since it helps people like me ❤ You're AWESOME and a big inspiration to me🎉
Yes she is am now in my grade ten year❤

Hi Can someone transfer from vet nursing(first year) to veterinary medicine (second year)?
Hey! You would need to double check the yearbooks, but if the first years have the same modules then you would be able to move over to second year, yes
finally andother update.😭it been soooo long
I'm sorry that it took so long, 5th year got really crazy really quickly 😂
Stopping poeple saying first.
Well now I can say second
Thank you so much for all your help, Nina. After 2 years of BScAgric my daughter made it into OP. 😊
Congratulations!
Is there a way to contact or talk to you about vet school
Hey! You can email me at vetlifeza2020@gmail.com
Do we need a stethoscope for 2nd year or is it only for 3rd year?
Hey! Luckily only from 3rd year onwards. In third year you will have IVD, which is all about diagnostic procedures, including listening to the heart and lungs, before that everything is just anatomy and basic animal handling
Riley is soo cute! Whoever ends up with her is going to be extremely lucky If I may ask, do you maybe remember what books you used in second year?
Hey! If I remember correctly, the only books I bought was my anatomy textbook (Veterinary Anatomy of Domestic Animals) and I think Veterinary Immunology by Tizard (but this might have been for third year). I think there might have been other recommended books, but they weren't compulsory and most of them can be found online I hope this helps!
Also please keep in mind that this might have changed in the past 4 years 🙈
@@vetlifeza6688 Thank you very much! I just wanted an idea so this was very helpful. Not gonna buy just yet. Thank you for your help :heart:
hey, i have a farm in sa and currently in high school my life long dreams is to make it to UP as a vet!!!! i also am a equine and have big dreams too look forward too!!!!
This is a great video! Thank you for sharing! I hope my daughter appreciates it too. She is working towards being a vet.

How do you get in with AP scores?
I’m doing CIE Alevel, what is the procedure?
Thank you so much for this wonderful video!!❤ aggh you mentioned the very last part i was always worried about because i've already failed and was wondering what happens if you fail again😂
Thank you for the heads up
You know the interesting thing is that when you studie your never going to get board❤
Nice thank you❤
Am so excited to become a vet❤
Hello! I submitted my application. Do you remember when you heard back from the uni? The waiting is killing me!
What is the application process for international students if you have an idea
Hey Miss. I am currently doing my final year in Animal Science course. I want to study Veterinary Medicine next. How can I apply and which institutions offer Veterinary Medicine?
This question applies to me too. Also, at university of Pretoria do I get a DVM or BVSC?
Hey! In South Africa, it's only the University of Pretoria, Onderstepoort campus, that offers veterinary medicine 😊 applications are online, I believe they are already closed for this year, but you are welcome to apply next year!
@@tjayajayi3222 it's a BVSc 😊
Nice video 😍
Nice format, the 'Short'. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, currently doing my second year in Bsc agric:Animal production., So am I on the right path of entering vet school one day and how can i apply? should i finish this degree or is there any other way
Hey! You can check out this video I made czcams.com/video/MbNoEvqmqUM/video.html It's all about applying to vet school, hopefully it should be able to answer most of your questions 😁 but you should be able to apply to vet school from your current degree at any point
Great to see you back !
not me coming back a year later as a first year vet student to watch this video🥺✨... I transferred from 2nd year of doing Bsc Animal science ❤
Hey I'm also doing first year of BSC Animal science does that mean I would have to finish the degree to then get accepted to Vet school?
@@Sambulostudios No. you can transfer using your year end results if first year as well as doing all the other requirements eg. Career shadowing. Your results need to be the best
Hey Doc, i wanted to know I am currently doing vet nursing, will i be able to veterinary science when i finish with vet nursing?..I love your videos.
I had a calico cat (female) named princess but she just recently passed away in my arms at the vets, her cause was old age and most probably early stages of organ failure.
What majors can the students choose from? I’m hoping that UP has mixed animal.
If I dont get conditional acceptance with gr 11 final results from last year , does it mean that I cant get in with my final matric marks this year? Or can i still be accepted without conditional acceptance?
Hi hope you will be fine kindly guide me if I have to register myself for South African veterinary council??? As I am veterinary graduate from Pakistan?? Waiting for your reply
Hey! I actually had a question about this the other day, but I actually have no idea, as the university usually does it for their students. You can email the university administration (henriette.vanderwatt@up.ac.za) and they should be able to point you in the right direction, or you can email the SAVC (director.registrations@savc.org.za), I hope you come right! If you do, please let me know so that I can let other people know how in the future 😂
How long do I need to shadow?
Hey! The amount of time that you shadow doesn't really matter, it's more about the variation of work that you observe 😊
What if I Don't meet the APS with the grade 11 final report?
I would like to say to you, thank you for this channel. I have learnt so much from you. As an aspiring vet I will be applying on the 1st of April 2023. I am so excited about this journey. Currently I am busy arranging to do a job shadow with my nearest vet. All the information I know about the application process is all from this channel. You have contributed so much in my journey. Much love from me❤ I hope to meet you one day.
One more question is it possible that a student with a diploma in animal health can apply for vet school or would I need a BSc to apply for vet school, also for specialization can a student do all specializations to be an all animal veterinarian or do you have to choose a specialization let’s say that you want to be a wildlife vet or a reptile vet or a small animal vet. For me I would to like try and do the impossible and be an all animal vet. Lol if there is a course where you have to choose a specific animal can you do that?? All animal vet is for me as I love all animals from dolphins to whales, to equine ( horses, donkeys,zebras) and cats and dogs, reptiles to Invertebrates avian, etc. hence why I say all animal vet.
Hey! You do not need any qualifications other than a high school diploma to get into vet school, in this video I list the minimum requirements (czcams.com/video/MbNoEvqmqUM/video.html) When you study your basic BVSc, you qualify to work with pretty much all animals, focussing on small animals, horses, pigs, poultry, ruminants and some wildlife. After that you can do as many extra courses and specialisations as you want, nothing stops you for furthering your studies at any point, it's actually encouraged 😊 there are also opportunities for the students on campus to further their knowledge in the different veterinary fields, like the OP Exotics club and the Wildlife group
@@vetlifeza6688 what if I get a diploma pass? That’s my question can I do BVSc with a diploma or must it be a bachelors degree. If it’s a bachelors degree then I’ll figure something out
@@NadineLynch10 Vet Science is a Bachelor's degree, so you do not need any other degree or diploma to apply, so you can apply with a diploma 😊
@@vetlifeza6688 great thanks
@@vetlifeza6688 but my question is again what if I don’t get a bachelors pass? And I get a diploma pass, then what? diploma in animal health?
I would like to know, what did they give you during your first year of vet school? I am interested to know, what tools did they give you and what you had to but
Hey! If I remember correctly, all we had to buy for first year were our handbooks (which can end up being quite expensive), lab coats and clickers, which we used in class, all the rest were available to us on campus 😊
Can i be a vet with a Diploma in Animal science?
Same question as mine but more specified on what one can do in term of specialization.
Hey! Having a further qualification definitely doesn't prevent you from becoming a vet, but as far as I know, you still need to meet the minimum high school requirements to be able to apply, but you can also email the university to to get more detailed information from them 😊
Unfortanately its not possible. I have Diploma in Animal Science and I went to the UP vet campus to enquire on how to i get into vet if i have a diploma. They told they dont want a Diploma but a Degree. Hope that helps
