1. general informations

The University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice – Slovakia’s Leading Centre for Animal Health and Pharmaceutical Sciences

The University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice (UVLF) is a renowned public university in eastern Slovakia, known for its strong academic focus on veterinary medicine, animal science, cynology, pharmacy, and food safety. As a single-faculty university, it provides a unique, specialized environment for students pursuing careers related to animal health and life sciences.

The institution’s roots date back to 1949, when it was founded as the Veterinary College in Košice following an act of the Slovak National Council. The first lecture took place on October 5, 1949, marking the beginning of veterinary education in Slovakia. This milestone made UVLF the first and only veterinary school in the country, and the second such institution in former Czechoslovakia after Brno’s Veterinary College (established in 1918).

Today, UVLF continues its long tradition of excellence, combining academic rigor with practical training. It remains the only university in Slovakia offering full veterinary programs, attracting both Slovak and international students. Its modern campus, experienced faculty, and international cooperation make it a leading choice for those passionate about animal health, pharmaceutical science, and food safety.

The certificate must be in the official language of the country where it has been issued. Apostilled certificate in English language issued by High school is also acceptable.

In case the country does not issue Apostille, the applicants must have the documents „superlegalized“.
