Hi, I'm not sure if anyone could help me with this, but it's something that's really bothering me.
I'm currently a 1st year veterinary science student studying in England, and am extremely interested in Japan and Japanese culture. In my gap year last year I spent 2 weeks there (doesn't sound like long but I did a lot in the time!), and am desperate to go back. However, this is very difficult as I need to do work placements at vets/farms etc during my holidays, and the studying seems endless. Plus there's the money issue.
I'm trying to learn Japanese whenever I can, but at the moment am only at a basic level. The Japanese population here is very low and I don't have time to take formal Japanese classes.
However, I am perservering with it, and can't stop thinking about the concept of working as a veterinarian in Japan. I know it sounds a bit crazy, but it's my dream.
My degree is a BVSc; I'm not sure what the qualifications are for veterinarians in Japan. I'm also trying to find out about postgraduate veterinary degrees, as I am not ruling out working in research, but it's hard to find out more about it as there doesn't seem to be much information online.
Anyway, to sum up my problem is that I would like to eventually work as a veterinarian in Japan, but don't know how I'd go about it.

Thanks a lot!
