Program overview
Preventive Veterinary Medicine is a research direction within veterinary medicine, focusing on the prevention, control, and eradication of animal diseases. You will study courses such as veterinary epidemiology, animal infectious diseases, parasitology, veterinary public health, and zoonotic diseases. In addition to classroom theory, there are many labs and internships, such as diagnosing animal diseases, designing vaccines, and formulating epidemic prevention plans. This major is suitable for students who love animals, are passionate about biomedical science, and are meticulous. Chinese universities have unique advantages in this field: China is a major livestock country with rich experience in animal disease prevention and control. Many universities collaborate with the Ministry of Agriculture and customs, providing real cases and practical opportunities. For example, in the prevention and control of major epidemics like African swine fever and avian influenza, China has accumulated extensive practical experience, which is reflected in teaching.
