About the school

The single-cycle Master's Degree in Veterinary Medicine (LM-42) at the University of Bari Aldo Moro is a five-year health-sciences programme with nationally regulated enrolment, training veterinary professionals to the European standard with a multidisciplinary curriculum.

The programme is EAEVE-accredited: in the most recent ESEVT status (November 2025) Bari holds full membership with accreditation valid until October 2030, facilitating recognition of the degree across Europe.

The curriculum covers 300 ECTS credits over five years, spanning lectures, practical sessions (labs, clinics, surgery), fieldwork (farms and breeding facilities), internships and seminars, with compulsory attendance.

Campus: The Veterinary Medicine faculty is located at the modern Valenzano campus (Strada Provinciale per Casamassima km 3), a few kilometres from Bari city. The campus includes a teaching veterinary hospital with consulting rooms, operating theatres, inpatient wards and stables, enabling clinical training on small animals, large animals and production species.

Bari, the capital of Puglia and an Adriatic port city, offers good transport links and a cost of living lower than central or northern Italy.

How much does it cost to study at Bari?
Fees are ISEE-based: students with a low ISEE fall in the no-tax area and pay only the regional study tax and €16 stamp (≈ €140–160/yr). Above the threshold, contributions rise progressively. UniBa's exact brackets and maximum fees should be verified at uniba.it.
