Veterinary Medicine

About this programme

The diploma programme in veterinary medicine provides scientific and practical training for the veterinary profession in all disciplines. Many young people know from an early age that they want to become a veterinarian when they grow up. But many other professions are possible with a degree in veterinary medicine as well. Besides the delivery of veterinary care to individual animals or entire herds, graduates with a degree in veterinary medicine also work in the pharmaceutical sector, in research, and in food production and safety. Vetmeduni therefore offers students the opportunity to choose their individual focus during their studies in order to cover the numerous aspects of veterinary medicine in the best possible way. The aim of the Diploma Programme in Veterinary Medicine is to impart theoretical and practical knowledge of the subject matter, to practise and promote relevant psychosocial and practical skills, and to develop a basic sense of ethics necessary to fully engage in the veterinary profession. The module “Economics/Communication/Reflection/Personal and Scientific Education”, which extends from the first to the twelfth semester, ensures basic training in personal, business and social skills. Students also have the opportunity to deal in-depth with specific issues within the field of veterinary medicine and to integrate themselves into the research activities of the various organisational units of the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna.
