English study programmes for the academic year 2012 / 2013

During the past decade, the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice (UVMP) has established degree courses in Veterinary Medicine taught in English. The University had been evaluated by the Education Committee of European Association of Veterinary Establishments under EU Directive 2005/36 ES (previously Directives 78/1026/EEC and 78/1027/EEC) and was accredited by Accreditation Committee of the government of the Slovak Republic.

Nowadays, the university is attended by undergraduates and postgraduates from the Belgium, UK, USA, Ireland, Malta, France, Germany, Greece, Norway, Sweden, Japan, Israel, Cyprus and other countries from all over the world. UVMP is the only University in Slovak republic that provides higher veterinary education and that makes it unique. Outstanding quality of the study process is one of its many advantages. Students are taught by highly educated professionals with great theoretical knowledge and long-year practical experience. Because we want our students to get the most out of the veterinary study, there are places providing various field practices, where they can obtain first hand information on recent trends and answers on their questions.

In addition to the exchange of professional experience and information the University offers various opportunities to enrich the student´s social life. Undergraduate student clubs and university run courses which welcome individuals with time and enthusiasm to devote to social, cultural and charitable activities.
