      No idea, sorry. But I think you will need a degree – something relevant like animal science (which you can do at UWE). So you need to get the relevant A-level to be accepted onto the degree.

      Firstly you need to stick in at school and get good grades if you want to be a vet.

      Then you have to pick a vet school. The grades you need vary from school to school. To get into the Edinburgh Vet School you need 3 A Levels with AAA grades in Chemistry, Biology and one other. (Scottish students need AAABB at Higher to include Chemistry and two of Biology, Maths, Physics – including AA in Chemistry and one other science subject.)

      here is a link to the Edinburgh Vet School website:

      Good luck! 😀
