About the school
The single-cycle Master's Degree in Veterinary Medicine (LM-42) at the University of Camerino is run by the School of Biosciences and Veterinary Medicine and trains veterinary professionals to European standards within a small, research-focused institution.
The programme holds EAEVE accreditation: following an initial conditional accreditation in 2021, the most recent ESEVT status (November 2025) shows Camerino as a full member with accreditation valid until May 2028.
The university's small size promotes close contact with academic staff and tutors, and smaller class cohorts. The programme coordinator has also run online information sessions ("INFORYOU") to guide candidates through the new filter-semester system.

Campus & Facilities
Veterinary Medicine teaching takes place at the Matelica (MC) campus, while the university's historic seat is in Camerino, a medieval hilltop town in the Marche Apennines. The School has clinical facilities and a university teaching veterinary hospital. (Full list of facilities and services: TO VERIFY at unicam.it / veterinaria.unicam.it.)
Matelica and Camerino are small towns in the Marche Apennines, with some of the lowest costs of living in Italy for university students. Note: the Camerino area was affected by the 2016 central-Italy earthquake — verify the current student housing situation at unicam.it.
