Veterinary Medicine has made substantial contributions to the development of anatomy, histology and physiology and has led to great advances not only in veterinary science but also in the humanities. The UAB Bachelor's Degree in Veterinary Medicine trains students to work in the traditional areas of veterinary science: veterinary medicine and surgery, animal production and health, and food hygiene, safety and technology. The UAB therefore offers the corresponding optional specialisation tracks, but also another track that covers an emerging field and one that provides new career opportunities for veterinarians: that of biomedical and pharmaceutical research.
