Veterinary Faculty

The fundamental task of the Veterinary Faculty of the University of Ljubljana (UL VF) is to provide high-quality veterinary medicine education at all levels of higher education, which is comparable in the European area. In accordance with higher education and veterinary legislation, UL VF has been monitoring the development of science and the profession for over 50 years to ensure that its undergraduate and postgraduate students are kept up to date with the latest scientific findings and professional achievements in veterinary medicine at home and abroad.

The activities of the UL VF are focused on teaching, scientific research and professional operational work. Scientific research work is the basis for the quality work of teaching staff and collaborators, and the UL VF ensures that such work is carried out at the highest level in cooperation with domestic and foreign established, high-quality research institutions. The professional operational work, which is mainly carried out at the National Veterinary Institute, provides students with an additional opportunity for practical training during their studies.

The aim of the Faculty is to provide students and the wider social environment with tested and verified teaching and research programmes, and to deliver reliable results to our clients, which is confirmed by the accreditation we have obtained in accordance with ISO 17025. In 2011, the Faculty received a positive opinion on the adequacy of its education for the second time from the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE) and the European Commitee of Veterinary Education (ECOVE), which gives the Faculty an international prestige and acknowledg- ment and a high level of appreciation for the quality of education it offers.
