UNIVERSITY OF VETERINARY MEDICINE BUDAPEST

1

A BRIEF HISTORY OF VETERINARY EDUCATION IN HUNGARYIn 1787, shortly after the foundation of the world’s first veterinary school (1762, Lyon) a “Chair for Ani-mal Healing” was established at the Faculty of Med-icine in the town of Pest (now an area of the city of Budapest) to provide students of medicine and surgery with basic knowledge of animal diseases and their management, an integral part of a general practi-tioner’s activity at that time.In the early 19th century, the rapid expansion of the traditional horse and cattle breeding on the Hungar-ian plains called for adequate institutional develop-ment. Accordingly, in 1851 the Chair for Animal Heal-ing became independent from the Medical Faculty as the “Royal Institute of Veterinary Medicine”. In 1899, its status was changed to that of a Royal College with the right to issue the D.V.M. diploma (Doctor Veter-inariae Medicinae). As an independent College, this school earned an international reputation in the first half of the 20th century. From 1960 it obtained the sta-tus of an independent University.As a part of the countrywide reorganization of high-er education in 2000 in the University became the Faculty of Veterinary Science, Budapest of the newly

founded Szent István University. From summer 2016 the school regained its independence, thus the former name University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest ap-plies. It is further on a state university and the pro-gram has been continually supervised and accredited by the Hungarian Accreditation Board.

GENERAL INFORMATION

International AccreditationIn 1995 the veterinary school was internationally accredited by the European Association of Estab-lishments for Veterinary Education (E.A.E.V.E.). The follow-up visitations took place in 2004 and2015 with a positive outcome.The accreditation of the Budapest veterinary school was reinforced by the F.V.E. (Federation of Veterinarians of Europe). The Accreditation Re-port concludes: “…the University of Veterinary Sci-ence can claim a proud position among its Europe-an counterparts. Its young graduates need not be afraid to compete with their European colleagues for their knowledge and practical skills.” Hungary is since 2004 a full member of the European Union which means acceptance of degrees within the EU and their equivalence with degrees from other EU-countries. The Budapest-diploma is accepted in addition to EU-countries in several others as well. The preparation of the American Veterinary Medi-cal Association (AVMA) accreditation is in progress. After obtaining it, graduates will be able to get their license in the US and Canada. Until that graduates need to complete a board exam in Canada or the US, for a residency and to practise in North America.

FACTS AND FIGURESThe University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest, as appropriate for a country with a population of 10 mil-lion, is the only veterinary school in Hungary. Current enrolment is about 100, 120 and 180 students for the Hungarian, German and English programs, respec-tively. Our institute is a public university supervised and financed by the Hungarian State.

LIBRARY AND MUSEUMThe Veterinary Science Library, Archives and Museum has a rich collection. Its historic library with 16th–19th century books, the university archives and the museum of veterinary history are particularly valuable. Besides, it is a modern information centre with current journals and books in veterinary science and biology in printed or electronic format, an online catalogue, a digital library, large international databases (such as CAB Abstracts, FSTA, Zoological record, Web of Science etc.) and a dynamic homepage. A computer room, printing and copying facilities are also available.

CAMPUS AND FIELD STATIONThe campus is located in the central area of Buda-pest, near to one of the main railway and subway sta-tions, easily accessible by public transport. The main Field Station of the school is located in Üllő, ca. 10 km from the boundary of the city. It comprises an Ex-perimental Institute for biotechnology, a living gene-bank for preservation of old Hungarian breeds of farm animals, horse stables with a riding-school and hippodrome, a Large Animal Clinic – opened in Sum-mer 2001 and a unique Horse (Equine) Clinic with its horse isolation and bone surgery facilities.Beside the daily routine work, the Clinic is used for practical training. The University operates a shut-tle-service between the Campus and the Field Station. In 2006 an up-to-date Small Animal Clinic was opened to provide students, staff and clients with 21st-century facilities for diagnostics and treatment.

THE ENGLISH-LANGUAGE PROGRAMThe English-language program at the University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest was instituted in 1992 for students with a working knowledge of Eng-lish. The English-language program begins in early

September each year. The curriculum for veteri-nary medicine takes five and a half years, parallel to the standard curriculum found in most European veterinary programs. During the first two (preclinical) years students study Anatomy, Histology, Embryol-ogy, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Zoology, Physiolo-gy, Biochemistry, Ethology, Agrareconomics, Botany, Biomathematics and Computer Application. Eng-lish, Latin and Hungarian languages can be chosen as optional courses. During the next three (clinical + paraclinical) years, the curriculum includes Animal Breeding, Pathology, Pharmacology, Toxicology, Mi-crobiology, Pathophysiology, Parasitology, Animal Nutrition, Veterinary Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics, Food Hygiene, Forensic Veterinary Medicine, Animal Hygiene, Epizoology and State Veterinary Medicine. The 11th (practical) semester includes practical work at the University Clinics and university-associated in-stitutions.

Practical work at the school’s Field Stations and State Farms as well as with practitioner veterinarians is part of the curriculum. After the clinical rotation stu-dents have some time to prepare for the state exams. The diploma-issuing ceremony is held in February.

The entire curriculum (divided into core subjects and electives) consists of more than 5000 hours, a curric-ulum standard for the European Community. Before the conclusion of the degree program the students must submit a thesis and take a state examination.

Hungary is a full member of the European Union. The degree received at the University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest is accepted automatically by the member countries of the Union and in several coun-tries of the world. Graduates of our English-language program report equal chances compared to graduates holding degrees from their own countries.

Statement of Non-DiscriminationThe University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest does not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, national or ethnic origin, religion, sex, marital status, age or handicap.
