Near East University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine was officially established on 2nd November 2009 as the first, private Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Cyprus. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine started its educational offerings firstly in the English language, later in 2018-2019 expanded its capacity by adding a Turkish Programme. Since then the faculty successfully graduated 159 national and international students.
Veterinary Faculty continued to expand its offerings to the higher research degrees with its Master’s and Doctoral programmes. We strive to provide the highest standards both in veterinary education and academic research benchmarking the rules and regulations of the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE) and the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe (FVE). Therefore, our next goal is to get the desired recognition of these authorizations to provide all our future graduates with accredited degrees.
The faculty facilities consist of a fully-equipped Small Animal Training Hospital, the Education Building as well as research farms for large animals.
There are nine lecture halls and three fully-equipped multidisciplinary laboratories including microscopy, anatomy and research labs. Both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offer courses on Basic Veterinary Medical Sciences, Pre-clinical Sciences, Clinical Sciences, Animal Nutrition & Animal Breeding and Food Hygiene & Technology. Clinical applications and practice of our students regarding pet animal medicine are carried out in the Small Animal Training Hospital. In the Training Hospital, which is designed to provide ambulant and hospitalized patient services, there are three general and two special examination rooms namely; eye-dental-ear diseases and cardiology, a central diagnostic laboratory, and an imaging unit. In addition, there are two operation rooms, one for soft tissue and one for orthopaedic surgery, an intensive care unit and a hospitalization unit for post-operative and critical care. While our students are provided with all kinds of medical and surgical applications, the hospital offers pet animal health service to the public.
