Veterinary medicine studies

Veterinary medicine is a discipline at the crossroads of medicine, biology, agronomy, and pharmacy. It focuses on the collective and individual health of farm and companion animals, as well as its implications for the environment, human health, and society.

At the forefront of public health management and contagious disease surveillance, veterinarians are also spearheading biomedical research in humans and animals. In this sense, veterinary medicine is an indispensable link in global health.

In 2026-2027, the entrance exam will still be held at the end of the first year of the bachelor's degree.

From 2027-2028 onwards, admission to the bachelor's degree in veterinary medicine will be subject to an entrance exam, organized before the first year. Admission will depend on the ranking obtained at the end of this exam.

Would you like to be the first to know about the exam procedures and the specific preparation offered by UNamur?

We're lucky enough to have a farm close to campus. It's ideal for working directly with animals.

I have a special interest in animals. I think they are indispensable to mankind and I'd like to help keep them healthy. As well as giving us lessons, our teachers are very involved in the practice of the profession. They often have anecdotes to tell us, and we feel at ease because we can easily see where our theoretical knowledge will come in handy. Training at UNamur is very comprehensive. Whether it's study or folklore, the University of Namur is the place to be.

Everything is close at hand at UNamur, and you can go from one faculty to another in a matter of minutes. In VT, we have our own dissection room. The first dissection is an important step in a vet's life: you realize whether or not you're cut out for this profession. Studying allows us to grow, take on more responsibility and become independent in our future profession. I almost don't want to leave them, they make me feel so at home!

The advantages of veterinary medicine at the University of Namur

From the very first block, you are in direct contact with the animals.
You will put your skills to use on the veterinary department's educational farm, which has established special partnerships with other training providers.
Regular contact with research teams from various laboratories grounds your bachelor's degree program in this fascinating world where knowledge is developed.
Your training is accompanied by reflection on the implications of science and its practice, making you veterinarians who are as concerned about owners as they are about their animals.
Theoretical training rooted in real-world practice. Learning consists of using a concept (knowledge) acquired in one context to solve a problem in another context: this process is called "transfer" and involves making medical decisions with a critical, scientific, and human approach.
Innovative teaching tools. The Department offers numerous team projects, multidisciplinary meetings, laboratory exercises, a unique collection of anatomical models, and 360° and 3D animations.
