The Veterinary Medicine discipline at Nanjing Agricultural University (南京农业大学) is a comprehensive and historically significant program housed within the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM), one of China’s leading veterinary education and research institutions with origins tracing back to 1921. It is recognized as a national key discipline and integrates theoretical, preventive, and clinical veterinary sciences, offering undergraduate, master’s, doctoral, and professional degree education in areas essential to animal health and veterinary practice.
The curriculum covers fundamental and advanced subjects such as animal anatomy, physiology, pathology, veterinary pharmacology, microbiology and immunology, infectious disease epidemiology, clinical diagnosis and treatment, surgery, obstetrics, and traditional Chinese veterinary medicine, providing students with a strong scientific foundation and practical skills.
Students benefit from extensive research platforms—including key laboratories in animal bacteriology, physiology and biochemistry, and animal disease control—as well as hands-on experience through the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, where clinical training and real patient care cases form an essential part of learning.
Graduates are prepared for careers in veterinary clinical practice, animal disease prevention and control, public and animal health services, research, diagnostics, and regulatory roles in both local and international settings, supporting livestock industries, companion animal care, food safety, and broader One Health objectives.
