Additional information

I'm currently studying a level 3 animal management course at Askham Bryan college in York. Would I need to then go on to do any specific work in a vet practice before applying to join?

Hi Holly,

There is more information on the veterinary officer role here https://apply.army.mod.uk/roles/army-medical-service/veterinary-officer

To join as a veterinary officer you need to have a veterinary medicine degree, you can apply for a bursary to help you with this once you have gained a place at university.

You may also be interested in the veterinary technician role, more information on this can be found here https://apply.army.mod.uk/roles/army-medical-service/veterinary-technician?ef_id=CjwKCAjw7diEBhB-EiwAskVi1yWE-m9QWZjz1gOtYld10fOvjVap5-k7LNNKFVQvx2L4U0G2BHpYkBoCw5oQAvD_BwE:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!8141!3!431756782484!b!!g!!%2Barmy%20%2Bveterinary%20%2Btechnician
