The five French veterinary schools lead to the same national degree — but not the same study path. Some offer an avian or porcine sixth-year track, others an equine focus, others a 50/50 clinical fifth-year structure. This page compares what you actually study in each, from official sources.
At a glance, the documented exposure per school and animal family.
Evidence: dedicated final-year track · hospital service · chair · specialised centre. Qualitative, sourced on each school page.
When you first handle an animal, go on placement, enter the clinic, choose your specialty.
Number of clinical and non-clinical tracks open in year 6 (2026-2027).

Sources & methodology — Curricula, timelines and specialties come from official school websites (study regulations, module catalogues, A6 presentations, university hospitals). Every claim is sourced on the corresponding school page. Species exposure levels are qualitative, based on concrete indicators (chairs, hospital services, dedicated final-year tracks). No global percentage is computed until ECTS breakdowns are exhaustive.
