Students

We aim to provide good quality, structured farm animal EMS for students who are considering a career in farm animal practice.

*Our Spring 2025 EMS programme opens for applications on 1st April 2025. Two-week placements are available between 24th March - 18th April 2025 (one-week may be considered).*

We think that it is important that the farm vets of the future get the chance to experience EMS that is relevant to the modern dairy, beef and sheep industries. We aim to provide placements which allow students to gain a true representation of work as a farm vet and to have the chance to develop knowledge and skills suitable for your level of the course. Where it is possible, we try to deliver seminars to help you build on the foundation of knowledge you gain at vet school and to allow you to apply this knowledge into clinical scenarios.

To help you get the most out of your placement we ask that you have undertaken an element of clinical teaching before your placement with us. Due to high demand, we book placements for a maximum of two weeks.
