There are three types of work placements at the Faculty of Veterinary Science: Supervised work placements (Clinical Internships, Non-Clinical Internships and Hospital Clinical Rotation); External Work Placements and Field Work Placements.

The programme for the Degree in Veterinary Science includes a total of 24 credits in compulsory supervised work placements, with an 85% on -site attendance by the student, distributed in 3 disciplines:

  • Hospital Clinical Rotation: 7 credits in clinical rotation in the different services of the Rof-Codina University Veterinary Hospital, with a final assessment of skills.
