Accreditation EAEVE
Last changed: 27 June 2024
Our Veterinary Medicine programme is – and must be – accredited following the standards set by the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE). The standard is based on minimum requirements stipulated by the European Union.
EAEVE follows an evaluation system to ensure the following:
- the quality of veterinarians to graduate from the programme, and the care they provide;
- that the programme meets the agreed standards;
- that the syllabuses and university meet the EU’s minimum requirements for veterinary education.
Accreditation is a sign of our programme’s quality and enables our graduates to practise and continue their professional development in a competitive market anywhere in Europe. Accreditation also provides us with the possibility of offering specialist European programmes approved by the European Board of Veterinary Specialisation (EBVS).
The Veterinary Medicine programme was last evaluated in 2017 and 2018. Here you will find the reports from the evaluation:

We have been given the status Pending Accreditation. While the major deficiencies are being addressed, our program remains accredited. The pending accreditation status does not affect our students' ability to work in the EU and the UK, nor does it affect their chances of being admitted to specialist programs (Diplomates).
