Requisiti e conoscenze per l'accesso.
Possono accedere al Corso di laurea Magistrale in Scienze Biotecnologiche Veterinarie i laureati di I livello nelle seguenti classi, nonché nelle corrispondenti classi relative al D.M. 509/99,: L 2, L 13, L 25, L 26, L 38. Possono altresì accedere laureati di altre classi che dovranno aver acquisito almeno 60 CFU in SSD riguardanti le discipline: alimentazione e allevamento animale (AGR/18, AGR/19, AGR/20), biochimica (BIO/10), biologia (BIO/05, BIO/11, BIO/13), chimica (CHIM/01, CHIM/03, CHIM06, CHIM/09, AGR/13), farmacologia e tossicologia (BIO/14, VET/07), genetica (BIO/18, AGR/17, AGR/07), entomologia (AGR/11), malattie infettive e parassitarie (VET/05, VET/06), microbiologia (BIO/19, MED/07, VET/05), morfofisiologia (BIO/06, BIO/17, BIO/09, VET/01, VET/02), patologia (MED/04, VET/03), produzione e riproduzione animale (VET/10), gestionali (AGR/01).
Modalità di verifica delle conoscenze e della preparazione personale.
I candidati italiani e gli studenti stranieri verranno ammessi alla laurea magistrale sulla base del curriculum di studi, dei titoli presentati e, solo nel caso si ritenga utile per la valutazione della carriera pregressa, di un colloquio anche per via telematica. Sono previse attività formative facoltative in ingresso per studenti che ne presentino la necessità.
In caso di trasferimento da altro Ateneo o da altro corso di laurea, l'ammissione ad anni successivi al primo sarà subordinata alla valutazione della carriera pregressa da parte del Collegio Didattico.
Gli studenti laureati nei Corsi di Laurea in Biotecnologia (K06) e Biotecnologie Veterinarie possono iscriversi direttamente al corso di Laurea magistrale previa valutazione da parte del Collegio.

Students of Veterinary Biotechnological Sciences have the opportunity to spend a term (from 3 to 12 months) in the universities with whom the School has developed bi-lateral agreement, which for 2015-2016 Academic Year include The University of Warmia and Mazury, Oltzyn (Poland), The university of Bonn (Germany), The Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain), The University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) and the University of Rijeka (Croatia). It is possible to combine courses with a graduating thesis stage, provided that an Internal Tutor (Italian) and external Tutor (from the country where the student will spend his Erasmus + period) are available. ECTS will be acknowledged following the learning agreement signed, as included by bi-lateral agreement between Universities.
The Program of Veterinary Biotechnological Sciences also offers the opportunity for a traineeship regulated by Erasmus + Traineeship program (former Erasmus placement). The program is activated in the frame of a scientific cooperation between a researcher group belonging to the School and others from foreign institution. Erasmus + Traineeship is financed by scholarship from the University of Milano.
