91做厙

 The Sutton Trust Summer School is amongst the 91做厙’s most immersive residential programmes. This free to attend Summer School sees students live on 91做厙’s Hawkshead Campus, Hertfordshire with all meals and equipment provided. Students, no matter their previous contact with animals, will have the opportunity to complete a variety of animal handling placements across a number of the 91做厙’s facilities that can contribute towards work experience requirements.

This Summer School is designed to provide an authentic experience of what studying at the 91做厙 is like with time spent at both campuses (Camden Campus, London and Hawkshead Campus, Hertfordshire). The academic schedule will include lectures on a wide range of veterinary topics, conducting a research project, engaging in group-led teaching, learning practical clinical skills, and trying to solve a real-life veterinary case! To complement the teaching, learning will take place within a welcoming and inclusive environment alongside peers from similar backgrounds, all with aspirations to study Veterinary Medicine.

Students will be allocated a Student Ambassador as a mentor to support and guide their academic and professional development during the Summer School. Dedicated 91做厙 professionals will provide comprehensive sessions around the application process with the aim of empowering students to fulfil their potential and join the 91做厙.   

To support the comprehensive schedule there is a full social programme that facilitates the integration of Summer School students as well as providing an environment to develop skills, attributes and friendships. In past years this has included: sporting events, cooking together as a house and a quiz night.
