The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the State University of Biotechnology is one of the oldest faculties of veterinary medicine in Ukraine. The history of the faculty begins in 1851, which at that time was part of the Kharkiv Veterinary School. Currently, it is one of the leading faculties that trains highly qualified doctors of veterinary medicine.
About 90 scientific and pedagogical workers (2 of them academicians, corresponding members of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, 12 doctors of sciences, professors, 65 candidates of sciences, associate professors, etc.) carry out educational and scientific work at the faculty. Scientific and pedagogical workers involved in the implementation of the following educational programs: “Veterinary medicine”, “Veterinary and sanitary examination, quality and safety of livestock products”.
The training of doctors of veterinary medicine is carried out exclusively in the full-time form of education at the second educational and qualification level “master”. The faculty also has the opportunity to study at the third educational and scientific level “Doctor of Philosophy”. The faculty trains specialists on a budgetary and contractual basis. Admission is possible on the basis of complete general secondary education (term of study 5 years and 10 months), on the basis of the educational level “junior bachelor” (4 years and 10 months), on the basis of the educational levels “bachelor” and “specialist” in related specialties (1 year and 4 months), based on the first higher education (4 years and 10 months).
Currently, about 800 students study at the faculty, including about 50 foreign students (state and English language of instruction).

Practical training of students is carried out within educational (within the educational institution) and industrial (outside the educational institution) practices. Guest lectures by leading specialists in the field of veterinary medicine are common practice.
