Abstract:

Milan is in the final stages of completing the construction of a new school of veterinary medicine, a modern project that will integrate teaching with clinical care facilities for both farm and companion animals. The University of Milan School of Veterinary Medicine is certified by the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE). Beyond offering a degree in veterinary medicine, the school offers also undergraduate and graduate degrees in animal production and animal welfare. In addition to the hospital structures, the University of Milan School of Veterinary Medicine is equipped with an experimental livestock center authorized to conduct experiments, studies, and research on all animal species of veterinary interest.
