ENQUIRE NOW
Everyone prefers to study and work on what they love. So we know what brought you here - the combination of love for animals and medicine. Veterinary medicine is not just a job - it’s a lifestyle.
Every day you will meet new people with whom you share the same passion for the animal kingdom. Being a vet is one of the most exciting jobs you can think of. Your workdays will always be diverse, and every hour spent at the clinic is an adventure. You can treat all kinds of animals - from loveable puppies to exotic, rarely-seen animals, such as reptiles.
What is more, veterinary medicine will give you a chance to get highly paid right after your graduation. Veterinary graduates are among the highest-paid, with an annual average salary of €50,000. As years pass and you gain more experience as a vet, you will also increase your wage multiple times, allowing you to earn more than four times your starting payment.
But your love for animals and willingness to grow as a vet won’t be enough. You will need to find the best university in vet science. Make sure the university is globally recognised, so you can choose where to practise after graduation. European veterinary universities are some of the best that teach veterinary in English.
Suppose you wonder why it is better to study veterinary in English. One of the main reasons is that you will be allowed to practise anywhere you choose after graduation. For example, if you study in your native language but then want to practise in the UK, you must pass a series of exams to prove yourself. We are pretty sure that you don’t want and need this.
Medlink Students will help you find the best university for you according to your needs and income. You won’t have to research every university on your own. We have already done this for you. All you have to do is contact our advisors for FREE, who will help you find the veterinary school that suits you best.
Every student who chooses the medical path is asking questions like this. And that’s why we are here. To answer your questions and help you overcome any insecurities you have.
Europe gives you many options to choose between countries and cities to live in and study. Most countries have similar living expenses and tuition fees, which are pretty low and affordable. But this doesn’t mean low standards and inadequate education. It’s quite the opposite. The universities are ranked as the best worldwide. They hire well-qualified professionals and invest in the development of the facilities all the time.
Despite the low tuition fees, this is not why students choose Europe. Nowadays, people decide to study abroad based on educational quality, the university’s global recognition, and the facilities. What we can say about European universities is that they have it all.
You will be involved in clerkships and training programmes during your studies in Europe. You will graduate with a worldwide recognised diploma and will have international experience, which is highly valued.
