IX. Other relevant facts

As a vice-rector and rector of the University I contributed significantly to successful international evaluation and accreditation of the University, its internalization, establishment of personal and material-technical basis for education of veterinary medicine and pharmacy study programmes and to ranking of the university as a higher-educational institution of research type. In 2008, on the basis of results of complex accreditation process, the Accreditation Commission of SR accredited, besides other study programmes of the university, also the study programme pharmacy, and thus the university has been included among the first higher-educational institutions of university level in SR; upon the rector′s proposal, the National Council of the Slovak Republic approved on December 1st, 2009, a new name of the university. As a result, effective of January 15, 2010, the university name was changed to the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice and the university logo has been updated. Starting from the academic year 2010/2011, the University has been conferred the right to award the academic title Joint Bachelor Degree in Animal Science for the 1st level of higher education study in English language in collaboration with the Nord University in Bodø in Norway, which significantly contributed to the enhancement of its internalization and integration into the European educational system. In the period of 2008 – 2014, the University obtained 33.6 million Euros from the European Union structural funds. Large portion of these financial means was used for construction of new clinical facilities, including University Veterinary Hospital and MediPark – university medical scientific park. Additional considerable portion was used to acquire science laboratory equipment |
