About the University
The University of Veterinary Science, Yezin (UVS Yezin) is Myanmar's only dedicated veterinary university and the national leader in training veterinarians and animal scientists. It began in 1957 as the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine under Rangoon University, was upgraded to the Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science (IAHVS) in 1964, relocated to Yezin (Pyinmana) in 1981, and became UVS under the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries in 1999.
UVS offers a 5-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program, a 4-year Bachelor of Animal Science (BASc), and postgraduate degrees including MPhil, MVM, MVSc, and PhD in various veterinary and animal-science fields. Since 1957 it has produced over 5,500 graduates — including 5,446 DVM-equivalent doctors and 93 BASc — plus hundreds of postgraduates.
The university is located in Yezin, near the Nay Pyi Taw capital area, and includes a fully functioning veterinary teaching hospital, livestock teaching farms, and clinical-skills laboratories — providing one of the most hands-on veterinary education environments in Southeast Asia.
