Pre-veterinary Medical Science is a 2-year-long prerequisite program that students must take prior to their enrollment in the Department of Veterinary Medicine. This program covers the overall veterinary medicine dealing with animals and the theories and actual training of relevant basic studies. It is designed to satisfy requirements for the veterinary medicine program. In addition, students learn to master theories, experiments and practical skills in veterinary medicine and other relevant studies, and simultaneously take general electives and basic natural science courses to be a competent professional who will work in veterinary medicine and other relevant life science sectors such as medicine, pharmacy and public health.

Before taking general electives and veterinary medical courses, students must meet the course requirements such as General Biology, General Chemistry, General Physics, Organic Chemistry, Genetics, Animal Behavior, Animal Comparative Anatomy, and Animal Nutrition, and systematically conduct related experiments.
