The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine 

Is charged with the responsibility of awarding the degree of BVSc to those it believes have demonstrated that they are knowledgeable and proficient in the disciplines related to the profession of veterinary medicine. Acceptable levels of knowledge and proficiency are determined by the faculty and demonstrated by the students via satisfactory completion of a variety of evaluative tools, including required exercises, examinations, and proficiency assessments.

Veterinary Students:          

Each student has the opportunity to excel in the Veterinary curriculum at Assiut University. Students are expected to work with a high level of focus, commitment and integrity to master the information presented to them and available to them through the medical and scientific literature. Students are expected to be active learners and must demonstrate entry-level clinical proficiency in order to progress through the curriculum.

Faculty Members:

Faculty members are responsible for designing, implementing, maintaining, and refining a challenging, contemporary curriculum that encompasses a variety of basic and clinical science courses, all designed to prepare students for a veterinary career. Faculty strive to bring a high level of enthusiasm, competence and commitment to their teaching duties, while at the same time aspiring to serve as mentors, coaches, and role models for students enrolled in the DVM curriculum. Faculty members are responsible for the curricular content they offer.

Graduation with a veterinary degree acknowledges high achievement in a lengthy and demanding clinical science course occupying at least five years at university.  Therefore, this subject benchmark statement refers to a minimum threshold for the award of the qualification.  This embraces the practical skills required for the new graduate and the education necessary to promote reflective experiential learning throughout a future professional career, whatever course that may take.

The Academic Standards, as set forth in this document, are to be used by the faculty and students as guidelines for academic activities in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. Copies of the documents referred to above are available for review in the office of the Dean.
