    The course is just WOW and the efforts made by the lecturers and the university itself is clearly exposed during the MOOC. The course is worth it. For a veterinary science student like me, taking such course is likely to help me in further studies as well as in practical aspect too.

    I really enjoyed this MOOC, it gives a good idea of what to expect at school but also as a client. I didn't appreciate being evaluated about the nearby buildings of the school or the name of Dick's sister. Really not the type of thing that would make me chose one vet over the other.

    This was a fantastic course which provided an in-depth and fascinating look into life as a vet. It includes histroy, anatomy, biology, emotional intelligence and a range of other skills which I never thought could be looked at in such detail on an online course! Thank you so much.

    I really enjoyed this course. It not only gave me valuable insights into what I might expect from a formal course in Veterinary science but it also gave me the confidence that I would be able to do it. I highly recommend this course for any prospective vet students out there!

    It was really interesting to learn about the history of veterinary medicine and how it was developed into a profession, especially in European countries. As someone from the U.S., I appreciated learning the aspects of veterinary medicine from a different region of the world.

    Otimo curso bem sucinto sobre a veterinaria da prática á historia deu ainda um toque na IA como novo caminho para ajudar os veterinarios no dia-dia. Parabéns a todos professores que com sua maestria explicaram de tal forma que o curso se torna a cada minuto mais envolvente.

    Es un gran curso, para quién esta interesado en estudiar Medicina Veterinaria, o para quién esta interesado en continuar con su educación y en recordar algunos conocimientos básicos de anatomía, como se realiza un examen físico general, entre otros. Gracias excelente curso.

    a brief list of summaries on historical events of veterinarian and Dick college would help in learning the 5th session. Putting questions like those in the final quiz doesn't make as much sense... other quizes are wonderfully set. great entry course to be a veterinarian.

    A fascinating overview of anatomy, diagnosis, soft skills, the history and future of veterinary learning and medicine - I loved it and used every possible minute I could spare to watch the lectures. I loved it and wish I could come study full time at the Royal Dick Vet.

    An interesting introduction to Veterinarian Science. I hope it can offers more insights into the different medical specialisations as well as the difficulties vets encounter in the clinics. I really enjoyed revisiting the materials I learnt years ago in Biology classes.

    I never knew that veterinary science really did have a long, complex, yet fascinating history. This is genuinely a new source of knowledge regarding the surface of the veterinary world for those who may haven't or didn't take a veterinary course in college like me.

    It's really feeling like I am a veterinarian student during this course. I have learned how to take good care with animals, also know how to observe my pets in order to speak to the vet. Being a veterinarian was my dream in childhood, the experience was excellent.
