TiHo Academy of the GdF

[Translate to English:] Baum aus Puzzleteilen

Additional qualifications for study and work

Students at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover actually have it easy, as they already know at the beginning of their training what profession they will pursue later on: veterinarian. But what does veterinary medicine for humans and animals look like against the backdrop of an increasingly diverse job market? What requirements does professional practice place on veterinary expertise, and how can I prepare for this during my studies?

Even for qualified veterinarians, it is important to continuously adapt the knowledge acquired during the initial training phase. Continuing education and training are becoming an increasingly important part of lifelong learning. The TiHo Academy of the Society of Friends offers students and alumni additional qualifications for their studies and careers.
