Veterinary Medicine

The Faculty for Veterinary Medicine is one of five veterinary training centers in Germany.

History

The origins of the Veterinary Clinics date back to 1780. In 1923, it was incorporated into the University of Leipzig where a separate campus was built for the new Faculty for Veterinary Medicine.

Education and Research

The research at the faculty focuses on emerging animal diseases and zoonoses in Europe, and their potential impact on agriculture, ecosystems and human health.

Outreach

The faculty is involved in knowledge transfer at the children’s project day “VetDay,” participation in the Children’s University and the studium universale, as well as the Long Night of Sciences.
