Glasgow Academic Student Peer Support (GASPS)
GASPS is a group that provides help and support, particularly to first years, with the academic demandsof vet school. We come in at various key points during the year to give short talks which look to pass onadvice and tips from upper year students about exams, assignments, and vet school in general. We runtea and cake sessions in pre-covid years, where we invite a handful of older students to come and havean informal chat with first years to allow space for you to ask any questions you may have. We hope tohave these talks again once restrictions are down.

This year we set up our Peer Tutoring Program, where first years who said they were struggling with a certain module or topic could be matched with an older student who was happy to take some time and go over it with them.
Lastly, we also have a Facebook page where students can ask questions about EMS placements, final year timetables, exam studying, or really anything! There are always lost of people that provide answers! GASPS is here to make first year a bit less daunting and provide tea and cake where possible.
