01 · Study pathways

Understand the study pathways

A degree title does not tell you which career a program leads to. We classify a program only from a statement on an official page, and we keep these pathways apart.

  1. 01 · 116 listed

    Veterinary medicine

    The academic and clinical qualification toward becoming a veterinarian: DVM, VMD, BVSc, BVMS, BVetMed and local equivalents, whatever their official award level.

  2. 02 · 153 listed

    Nursing and technology

    Veterinary nursing and veterinary technology programs prepare nurses, technicians or technologists. The titles and rules differ by country and are not the same as veterinarian training.

    Explore

  3. 03 · 60 listed

    Science and research

    Academic veterinary science, biomedical sciences, public health, epidemiology, pathology and One Health, up to the PhD. They do not by themselves qualify anyone as a veterinarian.

  4. 04 · 17 listed

    Assistant training

    Formal veterinary assistant certificates and diplomas, kept apart from nursing, technology and veterinarian qualifications.

No degree, accreditation or listing on this site is automatic permission to practise anywhere. Registration is decided by national or regional authorities and usually needs more than a degree.
