      I think biology and maths will be important, and probably one other science (chemistry or physics). The best thing to do is to look online at universities you like and see what their entry requirements are. Or if you have a careers person in school, ask them.

      Also, if you are seriously thinking about becoming a vet, find out as much as you can about it first. I recommend you call your local veterinary surgeries and ask if you can meet one of the vets there to ask them some questions about what it’s like working as a vet? If the first says they are too busy to talk, try another!
