The two-day residential course is designed to give Year 12 students an insight into studying veterinary medicine in general, and also to show the unique benefits of the Cambridge course through a mixture of practical demonstrations, lectures, tours of pre-clinical departments and the Queen’s Veterinary School Hospital.
Attendees stay overnight at Queens’ College for a taste of life as a Cambridge undergraduate.
Georgia, who attended VetCam in 2012 and is now at Pembroke College studying veterinary medicine, said "I heard about VetCam through my sixth form. The bursary place I was given made it possible for me to go without worrying about the cost.
"The two days I spent in Cambridge were really informative. Overall, I learnt a lot about the course and the university as a whole and having this knowledge definitely helped me when it came to applying.
"I applied to Cambridge several months later and now I'm just starting my second term here! Going to VetCam was a really positive experience as it gave me a great insight into life as a vet student here and I haven't looked back since.”
Applications need to be made by the student’s school or college.

Thanks to continued funding from the University’s Widening Participation Project Fund, a number of bursaries are available to help students from under-represented groups cover the cost of the course.
