Explore veterinary medicine through lectures, discussions, practical demonstrations and tours of preclinical departments and clinical areas. The two-and-a-half-day residential course also gives you a taste of undergraduate life with an overnight stay at St Catharine’s College.

Closes 22 March 2027

VetCam is a two and a half day residential course from the University of Cambridge for Year 11 and Year 12 students who want an insight into studying veterinary medicine. The programme introduces the Cambridge veterinary course and gives participants a sense of the subject through a mix of lectures, discussions, practical demonstrations, and tours of the preclinical departments and clinical areas.

The course is designed to help students explore what veterinary medicine is like at university, while also showing the distinctive features of studying at Cambridge. Participants stay overnight in St Catharine’s College, giving them a taste of life as a Cambridge undergraduate and the wider student experience.

Places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, with a waiting list held for cancellations. The organisers also note that attending VetCam, or other Cambridge open days, does not confer any advantage in the university application process.
