Introduction
History
In 1821, due to the general lack of knowledge about veterinary health, the National Veterinary School was founded in Utrecht. The founders hoped that the scientifically trained veterinarians would be able to cure diseases in livestock, as there had been three large epidemics of cattle plague in the 18th century. The school also trained 'horse doctors', which where desperately needed in the army.
Primarily due to the scientific developments in veterinary medicine, such as effective therapies and vaccines, veterinary medicine became a respected profession around 1910. Later the profession expanded to include care for small pets and quality control for meat and dairy products. Also education improved, in 1918 the school changed its name to the Veterinary College, and in 1925 it became the Veterinary Faculty of the State University of Utrecht. Around 1960 the demand for veterinarians increased significantly. The faculty outgrew its home in the city centre of Utrecht and moved to an expansive and modern facility on the Uithof university campus.

The faculty of veterinary medicine mainly provides education for the training of veterinarians of general profile. The Utrecht veterinary curriculum is accredited by the Dutch Flemish Accreditation Organisation (NVAO), the American and Canadian Veterinary Medical Associations (A/CVMA) and the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education. The Dutch Ministry of Education has declared the so-called numerus fixus applicable to the study of Veterinary Medicine. This entails that only a limited amount of students will be admitted each year. At this moment, the number is 225.
The faculty also provides in post-academic education. The postgraduate master currently encompasses Veterinary Epidemiology and Economics, Veterinary and Molecular Pathology and Animal Welfare. Other postgraduate possibilities are PhD training or specialist training. The faculty also participates in the foundation Post Academic Education in Veterinary Medicine.
In september 2007 the faculty started the first curriculum of the new BaMa system. The three-year undergraduate course (bachelor) provides for the more clinical three-year graduate course (master). In the undergraduate course students learn the basics of veterinary medicine, educated in themes. In the graduate course, students choose their future workfield (companion-animals, farm-animals or horses) and they follow training courses in the faculty clinics.
