The first year of studies focuses on the acquisition of the core skills and knowledge in the basic sciences such as Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics and Physics.

The general objective of the second and third years is to give the students a solid grounding in the various aspects of the Biology of the most common healthy domestic animals (horses, bovines, ovines, pigs and birds). The courses are conceived in a complementary manner so that the student can integrate them into a coherent ensemble, by means of his individual work and self-study.

In addition to these studies, the bachelor's programme in Veterinary Medicine will enable the student to acquire expertise in documentary research, and in computer-aided preparation and presentations of written and oral reports in French and English.

This three year programme consists of an ensemble of courses related to the basic sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics), to Philosophy, Sciences common to the different branches of "living organisms" (Biochemistry, Genetics, Biostatistics, Microbiology, Immunology, General Histology, etc.) and the more specific veterinary sciences ( Anatomy, Embryology, Physiology, Histology and Ethology of domestic animals and Ethnography and Vegetal Biology related to breeding, etc.).

The proportion of specific veterinary courses increases progressively from the first to the third year of the bachelor's programme.

It is important to note that the vast majority of the theoretical sessions are complemented by practical exercises (TP) or by task-based periods. These "TP" take place in very well-equipped, modern teaching laboratories, in the presence of the lecturers or their assistants.

In the context of the language training focus, each year of the bachelor's programme integrates a block of periods in English, with the last session, in the 3rd year, including a presentation in English on a biological topic.

The conditions and regular admission requirements are specified on the web page "Access to Studies": http://www.ucl.ac.be/etudes/libres/en/acces.html

In addition to the general admission requirements, the attestation obtained on passing the entrance examination for veterinary medicine studies is compulsory.

Successful completion of this programme entitles direct access to the master's in Veterinary Medecine, organised by the University of Liege.
