How long is a veterinary course?

[Amparo]

I’m trying to understand the timeline for becoming a veterinarian. How long does a veterinary course usually take, including education and training? Does the duration differ by country or degree type? Any clear breakdown would be helpful.

A veterinary course normally lasts 5 to 6 years if the time spent on academic study, as well as the internship period, is considered. Different countries and universities may have slightly different durations.

A veterinary course usually takes 5 to 6 years to complete, depending on the country and education system. It includes classroom study, laboratory work, and hands-on clinical training to prepare students to diagnose and treat animals professionally.

It usually takes 5–6 years total about 4–5 years of vet school plus 1 year of internship/training. The timeline does vary by country (e.g., UK/India vs. US) and degree type, but that’s the typical ballpark

 

[Mohamed]

A 5.5 yrs. long degree in veterinary (BVSc and AH), which has a one-year internship requirement, is a qualification in India. It takes a 4 year professional doctorate following a 3 to 4 year undergraduate degree in the US or UK.
