- Hey guys! I feel like this video is long overdue, but here it is. This is the second path you can take to get into vet school if your plan A didn't work. You simply study a year of BSc and reapply to continue with second year of vet school. I hope you guys enjoy!
UP's video on studying BSc to get into BVSc: • Alternative Admission ...

I also got into vet school via the BSC route. I did a BSC in animal science (Hons) degree while doing that I re-applied to vet schoo again and got admission at the University of Namibia's school of veterinary medicine 😊🐾 .
Congratulations!
This is a great video! Thank you for sharing! I hope my daughter appreciates it too. She is working towards being a vet.
I'm currently doing my 1st year in a Bsc extended program, the goal is to get into BVsc in 2023🥺
It's a long and difficult road from the extended program, but you've got this!! Good luck with your studies, it'll be worth it!
Thank you so much that was helpful 🥰😍...
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.
Aaaaaargh me mates! I be first again.
Well done! 😂
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
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
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
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
So sorry about your dog😥. These video are very helpful and i'm doing Bsc degree now and using Nsfas i'm so worried about funding like if Nsfas is going to fund me for another degree😢please help
Hey! Thank you very much for your comment. I am actually in the process of doing research on funding for vet school, if I find anything that can help I will let you know and hopefully I'll be doing a video on it soon 😊
Hello Nina!
Its my dream to study vet science at UP for the year 2022,I hold a National Craft certificate in general agriculture which is a 2yrs course, I graduated with a mean pass of 80% ,
I hope this gives me high chases of admition .
I'm from Lesotho
Hey! With your marks, I think you would have a good chance of getting in, just make sure that your Value Added Form is as complete as possible 😁 you can go watch my First Year Modules videos, if you have had any of those modules in your course, you should also be able to get exemption so that you won't have to repeat them. All the best for your application! Hopefully I'll see you on campus soon
@@vetlifeza6688 Thanks a lot
See you soon on campus
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
Does accepting a provisional offer for a BSc mean that I won't be able to later accept an offer for veterinary?
Hi there. Thank you so much for your video's, they really are so motivating. Please may I ask. I am working full time and would love to study Veterinary Science, but can't leave a full time job and income. Would it be possible to be a full time student and work part time ? Are the classes the whole day? Can you still peruse this career path if you didnt have physics in school? If I decided to go the Bachelor's degree route. Would I have to do the three years and then start the six year's all over again. The reason why I am asking is - the Bachelor's is at least part time and distant learning at Unisa. Could I complete the three year's and then do the remaining time at vet school or not really ? Thank you so much. Kind regards.
Hey! It is possible to work and study, several students do that, including me, which is why I have been absent from the channel for a while, it gets hectic 😂 classes are only from 08:00-13:00, with occasional practicals until 16:00 in the afternoon, so I usually work after that. Unfortunately, physics is a prerequisite for vet science, as well as for BSc at UP (I'm not sure if it's different at UNISA). If you do BSc first, you either have to restart with 1st year of vet school if you didn't have all the modules that 1st year vets have, or if you did have all those modules, you get to just continue with second year of vet school, but you can't skip more than 1st year of vet school by doing BSc. You can get credits for any modules that you did during later years of BSc if they come up again during vet school though. I hope this could help a bit 😊
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
Greetings future doc hope you're well.If one is studying veterinary technology at Tswane University of Technology must one complete 4 year degree then apply for vet or can one applying during the 4 years? Secondly does one get accredited for modules or do you start from 1st year?
Hey! You can apply for vet at any point, even when studying another degree 😊 and you can get credits for any modules that you completed that are similar to modules that vet students do, but the details would need to be discussed with the university. If you can get credits for all the first year modules, you can continue with second year, but if you miss any first year modules they will need to be completed first, I hope this helps!
@@vetlifeza6688 yes it does thank you 😊
Hi
Currently doing 2nd year BSc Animal Production at Univ of Limpopo.
If I complete my current degree and wanna enroll for BVSc will I have to start from the ground and do all those 6yrs??
Thanks
Hey! Depending on which modules you have already completed, you might be able to start with second year, if you have already done all the first year modules, but you would need to contact the university when you apply to find out for what exactly you would be able to get credits 😊
Hi do l have to complete my degree? I'm doing Bsc microbiology and zoology at UFS
Hey! No you don't 😊 you can apply at any point during your degree
Hi. What if you do the bsc at potch? Can you then transfer to Tuks?
Hey! As far as I understand, if you have completed the correct modules, regardless of where you completed them, you can move over to second year vet school 😊
I'm currently doing BSc in Medical Sciences at University of Limpopo. But I want to change to Veterinary Nursing next year. My question is, will it be possible to study Veterinary Sciences after completing my Vet Nurse degree or my BSc Medical Sciences degree if my change to vet nurse becomes unsuccessful?
Hey! Yes, you are able to study vet after you have completed another degree
Hi I have applied for the vet nursing program and animal sience,now I am admitted for animal sience but for the vet nursing they say 'Your application is considerd for the selection process'
What does that mean...
And you change your study choice from nursing to the full vet option like reapplying after the one year of animal sience.
Thankyou for your vids it helps me alot.
Hey! Things like vet and vet nursing take more time for them to process all the applications since it's more complicated than BSc's first come first serve, so it's normal to get BSc results first and vet or vet nurse later. If you got in, it will tell you that your application was successful and after a few days you will also get an email with your acceptance letter, if not it will just say application unsuccessful.
Good luck! I hope it goes well 😁
Thank you so much and how much detail should your value added form contain and the vet nursing only have animal killed and birth and in the killed next to it it say euthanasia so does it just mean euthanasia or can you also mention hunting slaughter.
And how does the euthanasia have to be professionally done or does it count shooting them for a sickness or something like that
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?
