Dmytro Dubovyi: On the peculiarities of studying at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the National University of Life Sciences of Ukraine

   Benefits of full-time study at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. Full-time study at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine is a unique chance to acquire a profession that combines knowledge and practical skills necessary to maintain animal health. It is difficult to overestimate the advantages of full-time education in a context where veterinary medicine is, first and foremost, a constant interaction with living organisms, laboratory research and clinical diagnostics.

   The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the National University of Life Sciences of Ukraine creates all the conditions for the development of students and their deep immersion in the specialty. At every step of the educational process at the faculty, from the first semester to graduation, you feel the support of experienced teachers and scientists who help you not only master the theory but also master the practical skills necessary in real veterinary practice.

   About the importance of studying at different departments. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine has a number of departments, each of which has its own unique approach to training future specialists and specializes in specific areas of science and practice. At each department, students receive knowledge that meets the needs of modern veterinary medicine, as well as develop practical skills to solve problems in various areas of animal care. Some clinical departments, for example, focus on practical training in the clinic, where students learn to work directly with sick animals during animal admissions. Other departments teach fundamental knowledge, such as biochemistry, microbiology, parasitology, and pharmacology, which are the basis for a deep understanding of veterinary science.

   One of the most important departments in the professional training of veterinarians is the Department of Biochemistry named after Academician M.F. Gulyi. Its disciplines enable students to understand the biochemical processes that underlie animal health. At the department, students study the composition and functions of biomolecules, metabolic processes, and the influence of various factors on the biochemical balance in the body. This is very important knowledge, as a veterinarian must not only diagnose and treat diseases, but also understand how various factors affect the metabolism, health and vital functions of the organism.

      In addition to theoretical knowledge, students at the Department of Biochemistry have the opportunity to conduct laboratory experiments, which allows them to better understand the nature of various diseases. The department's faculty pays much attention to the development of skills in analyzing laboratory indicators and helps students master modern diagnostic methods that are important for applied veterinary medicine. Access to laboratory equipment and the opportunity to work on real biological samples allows you to deeply learn the material and easily apply it in practice.

   Why did I choose the profession of a veterinarian and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the National University of Life Sciences of Ukraine? Choosing the profession of a veterinarian was a conscious decision for me, as I have always felt a special connection with animals and a desire to help them. Veterinary medicine is not just a job, but a mission that gives you the opportunity to take care of the life and health of those who cannot speak about their pain and anxiety.

   NUBiP is a university with deep traditions and a strong scientific base. And it is the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine that opens up prospects for comprehensive professional growth. I was attracted to the program, which allows you to immerse yourself in the specialty from the first days of study, to communicate with experienced professionals who have extensive practical experience. In addition, the faculty has the opportunity to visit the clinic, participate in research projects, and practice on modern equipment.

   Studying at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the National University of Life Sciences of Ukraine is a chance to get a prestigious and sought-after profession that will help animals and make the world a better place. I am inspired by the idea of continuous improvement, because modern veterinary medicine is developing rapidly, and this faculty provides all the necessary tools to be at the forefront of science and practice.
