The only private faculty in Spain and Europe accredited by the EAEVE
What makes us different?
1. Experience and the career path
The School of Veterinary Medicine at CEU UCH has more than 20 years of experience in training veterinary professionals and was the first to teach studies of this kind in the Valencian Community.
Our School of Veterinary Medicine is a member of the EAEVE (European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education). The EAEVE is the entity that brings together the best Veterinary Schools in Europe, and evaluates these schools through demanding procedures and recognizes those that exceed international quality standards with certification.
The School of Veterinary Medicine at CEU UCH has surpassed the two standards of evaluation set by the EAEVE, for that reason our School of Veterinary Medicine has "Full Accreditation" / certification of accreditation of high level of European quality. Among the more than one hundred Veterinary Schools across Europe, only 17 have this level of quality recognition, in Spain only our School and that of Complutense University of Madrid have achieved this level.
Accredited
Being accredited by the EAEVE means that the veterinary studies which are taught in our School comply with the most stringent quality requirements established by the Education Committee of the European Union.
The School of Veterinary Medicine at CEU UCH is also a member of the IVSA (International Veterinary Student Association).
2. State-of-the-art facilities
From day one, you will have access to the Veterinary Clinical Hospital at the University.
Within this facility you can study the cases referred to us by the veterinary clinics within the Valencian Community as your learning progresses, as well as participate actively in the duty shifts of the hospital services, which operate 24 hours a day. In addition, you will have access to the Teaching and Research Farm, where you can perform clinical practices with large animals, such as horses and cows, as well as practices related to animal handling, ethology and reproduction, in goats, sheep, birds, dogs and cats.
3. Professionals in the classroom
Because we understand that to be a good veterinarian you must be in contact with the best professionals in the field right from the start, so they can share their knowledge and put their experience into practice in the classroom.
4. Students at the heart of the action (during placements as well)
We have more than 1,000 places for external placements (many of them outside of Spain to guarantee an international experience for our students), with more than 400 tutors that will guide you in the final part of your learning. Examples of those who we have internship agreements with are, amongst others, the Bioparc and L'Oceanogràfic.
5. An international vocation
Students from different countries and nationalities spend time together in our classrooms. In fact, it is the only veterinary school in Spain with three linguistic strands (Spanish, French and English). And of course, everyone receives language support for free.

Final Year Project
The TFG involves students completing their own original research projects that include and expand upon on topics studied on the course and require students to use the skills and abilities they have acquired throughout their degree. The aim of the dissertation is to teach students how to look for, structure, organise and evaluate relevant information in order to help them develop their own opinions, including how to approach topics with a social, scientific, technological or ethical nature, and how to develop their own thoughts, criticisms and logical and creative judgments.

More Information

All the University’s degree programmes are assessed by the Spanish government’s quality assurance agency for higher education, ANECA. The University draws up a report (memoria) containing all the information concerning a new degree it wishes to offer and sends this to ANECA for it to review and approve. This approval process for the degree programme culminates with it being placed on the official record of universities and degrees in Spain, known as RUCT, with this being last step prior to its ratification by the governmental body responsible for coordination with Universities, the Consejo de Universidades. ANECA, in turn, sends back a final report (informe final) recording the approval or “verification” of the degree, and may also send further approval reports (informes de aprobación) for each modification that the University makes to the initial memoria for the degree. The implementation report (informe de implementación) is issued by the quality assurance agency in higher education of the Valencian regional government, AVAP. A favourable implementation report is essential for the Consejo de Universidades to approve the provision of the degree programme. Either six or eight years after a degree begins operation (depending on its duration), it must undergo a further round of external assessment in order to renew its verified status. This assessment is undertaken by AVAP. If successful, a renewal report (informe de renovación) is issued. |

The University undertakes a range of surveys to acquire stakeholder feedback regarding its degrees. The following are undertaken annually:
The following are undertaken every two years:

How our Dual Degrees work
Two degrees at your own pace and as flexible as you needWhen you graduate, you will have two official university degrees, not a single joint degree. That is why the dual degrees at CEU are designed to meet your needs, with customized study paths to suit the pace you need to study at and to take into account any international study visits. We will take care of everything with regard to the credit recognition system – let us worry about it. 
Dual degree and double the pay-off, but not double the priceStudy for a dual degree will give you two degree qualifications, but you will not have to pay the full annual fees for both programs. As a rough guide, if one degree costs you 100 euros, the dual degree will cost you 130. Just ask us for more details. 
No switching campus and no complex bureaucracyYou will study for the dual degree in the same building, so you will not have to commute between lectures. There will be a single case manager for your study path, and so there is no complex bureaucratic system to navigate. You will get a dual degree, but without the usual administrative complications. |
