Thereafter, Agricultural Engineering career was created at the Chillán campus and the Forestry Engineering was moved to Concepción campus. In 1993 the Faculty of Agronomic, Veterinary and Forestry Sciences was transformed into the faculties that currently belong to the Chillán campus; Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Agronomy and Faculty of Agricultural Engineering.
In 2002 the Veterinary Clinical Hospital was founded at the Chillán campus. Subsequently the Faculty (of Veterinary Medicine) changed its name to Faculty of Veterinary Sciences which then allowed for the creation of the Veterinary Medicine career in the City of Concepción in 2004. In 2007, UdeC Veterinary Clinic was founded at the Concepción campus.
Education
The curriculum offered by the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences educates generalist veterinarians with a scientific, theoretical and practical solid basis. Enabling them to play a role in the areas of animal health, public health, environmental protection, animal production, rural development, research and teaching in these same areas.
Undergraduate
The studies of Veterinary Medicine at the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences last five years (10 semesters). It is a biological medical teaching, designed to train professionals capable to cover the occupational fields of the specialty.
Besides a solid scientific background, the student receives a complete practical training, which allows them efficiently to apply the acquired knowledge.
The subjects are grouped into three cycles. The first three semesters are a general teaching cycle, with emphasis on basic and biomedical sciences. The next four semesters constitute a stage in which accentuates the specialized scientific and technological training. The three remaining semesters set the professional training cycle aimed at medical and surgical formation, the application of productive technologies, environmental protection and public health.
After successful completion of four-year long studies (at the end of the 8th semester), students are awarded the degree in Veterinary sciences. And once they have finished the five-year long studies (10 semesters) students are awarded Diploma of Veterinarian (Veterinary Medicine).
Postgraduate
The Faculty of Veterinary Sciences offers:
- Doctor of Veterinary Sciences (equivalent to PhD). Thematic areas of this program are Animal Pathology, Animal Reproduction and Biodiversity, which correspond to the main lines of research of the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences.
- Master of Veterinary Sciences in Hygiene and Food Technology.
- Diploma in Small Animal Veterinary Medicine.
- Diploma in Feline Medicine.
