The Faculty aims to be an internationally accredited seat of veterinary excellence that is locally relevant and provides an effective veterinary interface with the rest of Africa. Research niche areas serve as the driving force behind all research and postgraduate programmes, and are chosen to establish, achieve and project an African uniqueness which complements expertise and knowledge advances.
