Programs

Veterinary Medicine

A total of 70 students were accepted to the veterinary medicine courses each year at NVH. The program was a 5.5 to 6-year professional degree/ Master program leading to the title cand.med.vet. This is the only veterinary program in the country and one of the most difficult studies to be accepted into.

Veterinary nursing

NVH accepted 30 students each year for a two-year course in veterinary nursing.

Master of Science programs

The institution also offered two two-year Master programs within the fields of aquatic medicine and food safety. About 15 applicants were accepted on each of the two English language courses.

Doctor studies

About 15 candidates were awarded the Philosophiae Doctor each year from NVH. It was based on a 3+1 year model, with three years of studying and research, and one year of work.
