Support for BVMS students

From Year 1 of our BVMS course, you’ll have a dedicated coach and mentor to help you during your time at UCLan.

Across the academic year (and during placements), you’ll take part in one-to-one sessions. These will help identify your learning and development opportunities. You'll also get some academic skills coaching and mentoring.
