Past and present of the University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest

The predecessor of the University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest (UVMB) was established as a department of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Pest in 1787. The development of the national public veterinary services in the 19th century and the establishment of the provincial and district level veterinary offices resulted in a growing need for trained veterinary professionals, capable of demonstrating both theoretical and practical competence. This triggered an intensive development of the institution, including structural, educational and infrastructure development. From 1851 UVMB became an independent educational and research institution (initially called as Imperial-Royal Veterinary Institution of Pest, later Hungarian Royal Veterinary Institution [2] ) specializing in training of veterinarians, providing diagnostic and health care services and providing support for the work of the governmental veterinary offices. The opening of the current main campus of UVMB in the heart of Budapest also dates back to this period (1881). [3]

Besides classical veterinary disciplines, UVMB also offers BSc and MSc in Biology and MSc in Zoology Research. In recent years Veterinary Public Health also become a prioritised field in the education and research, covering food hygiene, food safety risk analysis and food waste reduction.

Training in UVMB is available in three languages: English, German and Hungarian for students coming from about 60 countries of the world.

UVMB has been accredited by the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE).
