As an independent institution the school earned an international reputation in the first half of the 20th century. In the 1990′s a Field Station and a Large Animal’s Clinic was built in Üllõ, outside Budapest providing a bigger supply of horses and cattle for the students in the clinical years. The university arranges a shuttle service to this location situated 25 km-s North of the main campus. In 2000 the veterinary school became an integrated part of the Szt. István University. Since the foundation of the international programs in 1989 around 2000 international students were enrolled, mostly from Germany, Norway, Israel, Greece and Sweden.

The degree granted by the university is recognized without any licensing examinations in all European Union countries (- applies to the nationals of the member states). As a veterinarian you are going to have a wide range of job opportunities in Europe. You can find a lucrative job in a private clinic for pets or in a state office for veterinary hygiene.

We work closely with the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Minnesota, St. Paul. They have advised us that students should complete an undergraduate major before starting veterinary school. Most of our pre-vet students are biology majors.

The University of Minnesota accepts only a limited number of veterinary students, with residents of Minnesota as the largest group. They also accept a few students from Wisconsin, Nebraska and North Dakota. If you are a legal resident of some other state, I suggest that you contact whatever college of veterinary medicine you plan to attend. Your pre-veterinary curriculum at MSUM can then be tailored to fit requirements of the veterinary school of your choice.

Our pre-vet curriculum (biology major) is based on a strong background in chemistry and physics and also meets certain minimum requirements in math. The first semester freshman typically takes English (Eng. 101), math (depending on previous preparation), Cell Biology (Biol. 111), and General Chemistry (Chem. 150 & 155). The pre-vet curriculum is essentially the same as that followed by other pre-professional students and would prepare one for a wide variety of alternatives.

This program is designed for students interested in a career in veterinary science and technology. The format allows a student to earn an associate degree in Veterinary Technology while working toward a bachelor of science degree in Veterinary Science. The course requirements for the freshman and sophomore years are outlined in the catalog associate degree programs under Veterinary Technology. Graduates of other associate degree programs in Veterinary Technology accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association may transfer directly into the bachelor’s degree program (as long as all mandatory courses have been completed and all pre-requisite courses for courses in the Bachelor’s degree in Veterinary Science Program have been or will have been met).

The demand for qualified graduates in veterinary science and technology far exceeds the supply. Employers cite an increasing need for well-trained veterinary science career professionals. Careful selection of courses and preceptorship experiences can help graduates meet eligibility requirements to sit for certification exams in clinical laboratory technology, emergency medicine and critical care, laboratory animal medicine, and to work in medical and pharmacological research.

Students are encouraged to work part-time in a veterinary practice or biotechnical research setting to maintain learned technical and nursing skills. Junior and senior students are also eligible to apply for employment as laboratory teaching assistants in the associate degree Veterinary Technology program.

The Veterinary Science curriculum has a collection of core course requirements and electives. The core requirements build a foundation of knowledge for all graduate veterinary technicians. The elective course offerings provide the opportunity for the student to pursue his/her individual interests such as laboratory animal medicine, companion animal medicine or prepare to pursue a postgraduate degree (MS, Ph.D., DVM).

This broad-based baccalaureate degree program in biologic sciences, veterinary sciences and animal husbandry also allows students to select in-depth instruction and clinical experience with a practical theme. The two concentration options available are Clinical Medicine and Laboratory Animal Medicine. Supplementing the didactic course work is a preceptorship in which the student receives hands-on training at an approved facility such as a veterinary practice or research facility. The student works directly with his/her faculty advisor to select appropriate elective courses within the curriculum to match their particular area of interest.

The Clinical Medicine concentration is designed to further enhance the student’s knowledge of nutrition, animal husbandry, nursing, zoonotic diseases and preventive medicine in the major domestic animal species as well as less traditional companion animals. Biomedical technologies, advanced diagnostic procedures and nursing skills are emphasized.

The Laboratory Animal Medicine Concentration is designed for Veterinary Technology students interested in a career within the discipline of laboratory animal science. In addition to advanced foundation courses in the biological sciences, students receive training in non-human primate and non-primate laboratory animals, research methodologies, nutrition, ethics, and laboratory management

The pre-veterinary concentration allows the student to receive a Bachelor’s Degree in Veterinary Science, meeting the requirements for most Veterinary Schools as well as the requirements for the two-year, AVMA-accredited program in Veterinary Technology. Students are advised that the requirements of each Veterinary School are different, and that they may need to take additional courses to meet the pre-requisite requirements of a specific school. Students should be prepared to begin the application process at the end of the Junior year and may receive feedback at that time on how they might make their application stronger.

An integral part of the program is the Lenfest Animal Health Center. This on-campus veterinary clinic treats hundreds of animals annually and allows students to gain valuable hands-on clinical experience as part of the curriculum. In addition to the veterinary clinic on campus, field trips are made to local shelters and farm animal facilities. These out-reach programs give the students experiences with a wide range of animal species. Supplementing the didactic course work is an externship in which the student receives hands-on training in an approved research facility, private veterinary practice or veterinary teaching facility.
