Bristol Veterinary Science supplementary questionnaire
Bristol's 2027 Veterinary Science D100 selection scores a supplementary questionnaire alongside academic results. Applicants who meet the academic requirements have their questionnaire answers assessed for awareness of course demands, the veterinary surgeon's role and challenges, and how people work in groups. Bristol does not release the form before application. It normally does not use the UCAS personal statement to rank applicants, though it may consult it to distinguish tied applications.
Writing format
Veterinary Supplementary Assessment Questionnaire sent after the UCAS application
What to prepare
- 1Reflect on experiences that show how you communicate, solve problems, and work with others; Bristol accepts relevant learning outside formal veterinary placements.
- 2Learn what veterinary surgeons do and what makes the work challenging, then connect that understanding to the actual question Bristol sends you.
- 3Explain how people contribute differently within a group and what you learned from a specific team situation, without inventing a published SAQ prompt.
How to approach the writing
- Watch for Bristol's email after submitting UCAS and read the form's own instructions and deadline before drafting final answers.
- Prioritize the SAQ for Bristol's selection. Keep the UCAS personal statement accurate for other choices and possible tie-breaking, but do not treat it as Bristol's main written assessment.
Before you submit
Bristol says the 2027 SAQ is unavailable before application and must be returned by the deadline in the email. Use the actual form for its questions and limits. The university has no fixed work-experience requirement and does not routinely interview D100 applicants; check the 2027 D100 admissions statement for your route.
