Szent István
University Faculty of Veterinary Science
One of the oldest and most respected Veterinary
Schools in the world
The
five-and-a-half-year international degree program at Szent István
University’s Faculty of Veterinary Science leads to the Doctor of
Veterinary Medicine degree.
The Veterinary School is accredited by the Hungarian Accreditation Board, by the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (E.A.E.V.E.), and the degree is recognised in both Canada and the United States by the National Examining Board and the American Veterinary Medical Association, respectively.
The Veterinary School is located in Budapest, Hungary’s capital, a lively metropolis in the middle of Europe. The Faculty of Veterinary Science can trace back its origins to 1787, to just shortly after the foundation of the world’s first veterinary school. The Faculty launched its English program in Veterinary Science in 1992.
The Faculty of Veterinary Science enrols 90 students each year in its English language program.
Unique
Benefits
The campus of the Veterinary School is located in central Budapest,
easily accessible by public transportation. The sizable international
student population at the various universities in Budapest provides
for a rich social life outside the classroom, complemented by the wide
variety of unique cultural events in Budapest. With the proximity of
Ferihegy International Airport, and the availability of low-cost airlines,
students also have the opportunity to go on affordable weekend getaways
most anywhere in Europe.
College International has a database of 300 Budapest apartments, and will provide housing assistance to interested students at a minimal cost.
Exemption from Taking the Entrance
Examination and Transfer Credits
Candidates with a B.A. or B.Sc. degree, or those currently enrolled in
an undergraduate program in a science-related field may qualify for exemption
from taking the entrance examination and may receive transfer credit for
some of their courses. In some cases, applicants may also qualify for
mid-year entry. Decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, and are pendant
on the student providing official transcripts and course descriptions
equivalent to the requirements of Szent István University’s
Faculty of Veterinary Science.
