Until 1970, it was the only faculty of veterinary medicine to offer education and research in Turkey.[2]

History

edit
 

The Education of Veterinary Medicine in Turkey started for the first time in 1842 at the Military Veterinary School in Istanbul.[3] Later, the Civil Veterinary School was established in 1889 and these two organizations were united under the name of the Higher Veterinary School in 1921.[4] Within the framework of the Higher Education reforms of the Republic of Turkey, the Veterinary School was transferred to Ankara with its entire academic and administrative staff in 1933 and was included in the Higher Agricultural Institute, and was renamed as the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in 1939.[5] Following the establishment of Ankara University in 1946, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine joined Ankara University in 1948 and became one of the founding faculties of the university.[6]

 
 

Since its establishment, as the Main Faculty, Ankara University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine has provided support to the education and research activities of most of the other Veterinary Faculties established afterward.[7]
