The name of Szent István University, Faculty of Veterinary Science, has now been changed to The University of Veterinary Medicine.

The English-language program at the University of Veterinary Science was instituted, in 1992. Since 2000 The Faculty,  has been an integrated part of Szent István University, it is the second oldest veterinary school in Europe. From this year (2016) the Faculty of Veterninary Medicine of Szent istvan University, has become a University in its own right and has been named  the University of Veterinary Medicine. 

 

The program begins in early September each year. The curriculum takes five and a half years and parallels the standard curriculum found in most European veterinary programs. Practical work at the schools Field Stations and State Farms as well as with veterinary practioners is part of the curriculum.

The programme is of 5 years and the entire curriculum is a standard curriculum for the European Community and consists of more than 5000 hours.

 

Before the conclusion of the degree program the students must submit a thesis and take a state examination.The degree received at the Faculty of Veterinary Science, Budapest is accepted automatically by the member countries of the European Union and in several countries of the world.

 

The graduates of the English-language program who come mainly from Norway, Sweden, Ireland, UK, Greece,Cyprus and Canada report equal chances with graduates in their home countries.
