The vocational master?s programme aims to equip veterinary professionals with the high-level managerial skills needed to add value at every level of the animal-derived food production system, from livestock production to in-plant processing, to the placement of products on domestic, European and international markets.

Teaching combines veterinary skills with the necessary knowledge of economics and trade in domestic and international markets.
The programme includes 420 hours (42 CFUs) of face-to-face teaching and 96 hours (8 CFUs) of other teaching activities.
Teaching will cover the following units:

Introduction to the vocational master?s programme
The VEM in primary production
The VEM in food safety
Organisations, technological innovation and communication

Teaching is supplemented with an internship of 250 hours (10 CFUs) and a final exam in which students must produce and defend a final paper.
The programme is open to holders of Master's or single-cycle Master's degrees in Veterinary Medicine (LM-42 pursuant to Ministerial Decree 270/2004).
At the end of the programme, participants will be able to pursue careers in positions involving animal production and livestock in the local and state public sector (regional authorities, government ministries, cooperating institutions), international organisations (UN agencies, FAO, WHO, WOAH, etc.), the non-governmental sector, public-private partnerships with a role in international funding or in the private sector and industry.
