We apply UKPSF (The UK Professional Standards Framework) with the program to ensure that students will have critical thinking, analysis and synthesis the process of problem solving. Furthermore, we aim that students will be trained to become an expert and ready to work in Thailand and international companies along with opening small animal teaching hospitals to allow students to work and practice and provide medication to small animals. Additionally, we have experienced professors from many countries to teach our students to become excellent veterinarians.

In each year, we validate that students must have internship experience in other countries. Last year, we supported our students to visit the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, National Taiwan University, Taiwan. We have also cooperated with many universities such as the Faculty of Veterinary, Ludwig Maximillion University, Munich, Germany and the Faculty of Veterinary from Viana, Austria. Now we are preparing to request approval from the Veterinary Council of Australia and New Zealand as well.” said Clinical Prof. Dr. Suvichai Rojanasthien.
