Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Belgrade is organizing academic doctoral studies as a part of unique program that lasts for three years and carry 180 ECTS. Study program of academic doctoral studies includes appropriate number of mandatory theoretical subjects and elective subjects in the area of completing doctoral thesis and scientific research in scientific areas of the studies. Doctoral thesis is final part of study program of academic doctoral studies. Academic doctoral studies program is unique and the candidates are, starting with fourth semestre, obligated to choose elective subjects. Basic areas in study program are: morphology and physiology of animals; Clinical pathology and therapy of animals; Veterinary preventive medicine and Hygiene and technology of food origininating from animals. In fourth and fifth semestre, in agreement with mentor, students choose methodology subjects and elective subjects in the area of completing doctoral thesis. Sixth semestre is intended for completing doctoral thesis.

Prime goal of study program of academic doctoral studies at Faculty of Veterinary Medicine is for students to adopt newest findings in veterinary and biomedical sciences that are significant for independent scientific-research work and consciousness of need for further perfection in these areas. Students should master experimental and analytical science methods which they will use in their work, and as well as that, they should expand their knowlege in specific areas of veterinary medicine through subjects. Goals of academic doctoral study program include gaining of scientific abilities and academic skills, development of creative and communicative skills and mastering specific practical skills that are needed for future development in career.

By mastering academic doctoral study program student gains general and specific knowlege and skills needed for high-quality perfomance of scientific and practical work: They will master principles and mechanisms of cell function on molecular level and gain knowlege in cell biology needed for mastering and research work in modern biomedicine. Students will be capable to perceive in details system of normal metabolic transformations in animal organism for better understanding of changes in tissue function during an illness. They will understand the role of nervous system in regulation and control of other organic systems function and they will be prepared for perceiving humoral regulation and control of organic system and tissue function. Beginners will adopt freshest findings in area of veterinary immunology. They will gain theoretical knowlege and skills that are necessary for independent scientific-research work with experimental animals. Students will gain knowlege that is necessary for conducting epidemiology research, design and analisys of clinical research in veterinary medicine. They will master their knowlege in influence of veterinary work and livestock production on local and global pollution of environment, in making action plans and strategies for environment protection. They will master adopted scientific methods, so that they can reach scientific truth, or solution to some scientific problems. They will be trained to conduct scientific work, describe results and publish them. In basic areas of program, students will gain specific knowlege and master appropriate laboratory, clinical and statistical methods. Student should be capable to participate competently in scientific-research projects, to follow and critically evaluate scientific literature, write scientific articles, communicate with researchers in country and world and participate in scientific-researche processes in the area of completing thesis.
