We understand that not all students have equal opportunities when it comes to accessing higher education.

Supporting students from underrepresented backgrounds is called Widening Participation (WP).

We are delighted to offer a fully funded week-long residential Summer School to eligible students interested in exploring the field of Veterinary Medicine. The Veterinary Medicine Diversity Summer School is aimed at those who meet one or more (WP) criteria and identify as belonging to an ethnic and/or religious minority group.
