Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul - UFRGS Speciality : Veterinary Science
programme: Veterinary Medicine

Despite being considered one of the best federal universities in the country, UFRGS still has many areas to improve, including its course curricula. The Veterinary Medicine curriculum, despite recent changes, remains outdated and focused on animal production, despite there already being a Zootechnics course at the university. However, the teachers are mostly renowned researchers, each one excelling in their field, despite not always having the teaching skills to teach their classes.

In veterinary science, most professors show a genuine interest in passing on knowledge to students and encourage them to seek learning opportunities in internships, projects and research, which are offered at the university itself or in external environments. The structure of the university in general is good, but some resources are lacking. It is also difficult to balance work and class schedules.
