We are interested in hearing from businesses who can help veterinary students consolidate their practical learning and communication skills across a range of species. Students must complete their animal husbandry extra mural studies (EMS) during holidays by the end of their second year.
Suitable placements include kennels/catteries, stables and livestock farms, particularly at lambing time and dairy. Working with other key sectors such as pigs, poultry, aquaculture, and small mammals, exotics/zoo and wildlife is also encouraged. Students are trained and assessed in safe animal handling and husbandry before going out on placements, which usually last 1-2 weeks each. Employer liability insurance is required. Please contact us if you are interested.
