      Veterinary Education<\/strong><\/p>

      AUT has the only Veterinary education in Albania. A key milestone of the reform is the preparation for an EAEVE accreditation (European Association for the Establishment of Veterinary Education). Under the guidance of Prof. Petra Winter\u2014former Rector of VetMed Vienna and President of EAEVE\u2014the faculty is working towards meeting European veterinary education standards.<\/p>

      An EAEVE accreditation requires a standardized educational scheme. The faculty members have provided a 100-page report covering the current situation and a road map for adopting the education in meeting the required standards. With 1st of October 2026, the first two years of the Veterinary education in line with the EAEVE guidelines should be finished.<\/p>
