Bristol accelerated veterinary entry questionnaire
Bristol's D102 accelerated graduate-entry Veterinary Science route ranks academically eligible applicants by its Veterinary Supplementary Assessment Questionnaire. The 2027 statement says the form examines teamwork, the veterinary surgeon's role and challenges, and attributes needed for the course. The university sends the form after the UCAS application and does not publish its questions beforehand. This route is distinct from the standard-entry D100 course.
Writing format
Veterinary Supplementary Assessment Questionnaire sent after UCAS
What to prepare
- 1Reflect on how a group worked through a difficult task, including the factors that helped or hindered collaboration.
- 2Learn what veterinary surgeons do and what pressures they face, then use the actual SAQ questions to connect that knowledge to your experiences.
- 3Explain attributes relevant to studying veterinary science through specific evidence rather than broad claims about loving animals.
How to approach the writing
- Watch for Bristol's post-UCAS email and complete the issued SAQ by its stated deadline; the questionnaire is the main ranking assessment for eligible D102 applicants.
- Keep your UCAS personal statement accurate for your other choices and possible tie-breaking, but prepare separately for the D102 questionnaire.
Before you submit
The 2027 D102 statement gives no fixed work-experience requirement, does not routinely interview, and does not release the SAQ before application. Check that you meet this graduate-entry route's degree prerequisites and use the email for the live questions and deadline. D102 applicants are not automatically considered for D100.
