Qualification and professional pathway
Pathway is classified only from a statement on an official page. An award title such as DVM, BVSc, BSc or MSc does not decide it, and no degree, accreditation or listing by itself grants permission to practise anywhere.
- Degree level
- Bachelor’s degreeA first degree. A bachelor’s title does not by itself show whether a program leads to veterinarian, nurse or technician roles: the study pathway is shown separately.
- Pathway
- Veterinary medicinePrograms the source describes as the academic and clinical qualification toward becoming a veterinarian in the stated jurisdiction. Registration or licensing normally requires further steps, and a qualification from one country does not guarantee registration in another.
- Why we classify it this way
- The faculty page says the course trains veterinarians, and the qualifications page lists the National Veterinary Examination as available to Veterinary Medicine course students who take the designated subjects.“獣医師国家試験 獣医学類 本学の指定する科目を履修すること”Source
- Prior degree required
- Not published
- Further professional requirements
- A qualification table lists the National Veterinary Examination (獣医師国家試験) as obtainable by students of the Veterinary Medicine course who complete the designated subjects.Source
