Welcome Message
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Jos, Nigeria. Established in 2014, the Faculty admitted its pioneer set of undergraduate students who successfully graduated in 2022. Their induction and oath-taking ceremony was held on the 24th of November, 2022, at the Faculty’s multipurpose auditorium—marking a historic milestone in our journey of academic excellence.
The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine currently comprises seven well-equipped departments and a modern Veterinary Teaching Hospital. With forty-two full-time academic staff, alongside visiting and sabbatical scholars, and a dedicated team of administrative and technical staff, we are committed to delivering world-class education and training. We offer the undergraduate Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program, as well as postgraduate programs across all departments, ensuring a comprehensive pathway for advanced learning and research.
Our research focus is centred on Diagnostics, Drug, and Vaccine Research and Development, with three active grants currently supporting vaccine-related projects. In addition, evolving research themes continue to expand, engaging more staff and students in innovative studies that address pressing veterinary and public health challenges.
We invite you to be part of our Faculty, to contribute to our vision, and to share in our commitment to advancing veterinary medicine for the benefit of society.
