About the Faculty
Faculty of Veterinary Medicine
Unlike other universities in Yemen, where veterinary medicine is incorporated into the Faculty of Agriculture, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (FVM) at Sana’a University is an independent faculty. The university has shown a keen interest in this field since its establishment in 1970. This reflects the university leadership’s commitment to establishing new faculties that align with various development paths. FVM plays a crucial role in promoting the sustainable development of the livestock sector, which is vital for food security and the self-sufficiency of animal products, including meat, dairy, eggs, and fisheries. FVM offers a five-year Bachelor Program in Veterinary Medicine, consisting of 10 semesters. During this program, students are required to complete 65 courses, totaling 195 academic credit hours.
