The Pre-Veterinary Experience is perfect for both those already studying veterinary medicine, and those wanting to study veterinary medicine in the future, and wanting to gain experience.

This veterinary experience is also perfect for veterinary nurses, veterinary technicians, and veterinary assistants, as an exciting career break, CPD hours or just to gain further experience in a country different to their own, where things may be done slightly differently to back home.

The programme is very hands-on, with the majority of veterinary work taking place in the field, as opposed to in a clinical setting. Learning is mostly through hands-on experience and informal lectures before, during and after activities, with some classroom-style lectures.

Students can stay on the programme for between 2 – 12 weeks, with flexible dates throughout the year. We guarantee you will fall in love with South Africa, and its animals, and never want to leave!
