General Information- Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies

Veterinary Medicine: As a student of veterinary medicine, you will learn everything for your future profession as a veterinarian: the structure and function of healthy and diseased animal bodies, the species-appropriate husbandry, the reproduction, the hygiene and feeding, the behavior and protection of animals and the causes, diagnosis and effects of diseases.

Of course, while learning these things, the treatment and prophylaxis of diseases will always be the focus of the training, which everything else aims at. Additionally, the university teaches the students to take care of ethical but also economical needs of the animals and their owners. Another part of the studies is concerned with the food hygiene and the control of food products.

After the successful completion of the degree, students can open their own doctor’s office or work in other areas that are concerned with veterinary medicine. Alumni of the basic studies can also take their doctorate at the university in the veterinary medicine doctoral program of the faculty.

If you choose to study at the LLU, you will get a holistic training – with many practical classes in a modern environment – by very experienced professors. Beyond that, the university always has state-of-the-art medical technology.
