ENVA Campuses

The Campus Principal d'Alfort of the Ecole Nationale Vétérinaire d'Alfort (ENVA) is the primary location for veterinary education and research in France. Established in 1766, it is one of the oldest veterinary schools in the world and remains a leading institution for training veterinarians. The campus offers a comprehensive curriculum focused on animal health, welfare, and public health, preparing students for diverse careers in veterinary medicine.

The main courses taught at this campus include the core veterinary medicine program, which spans five years and covers anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and clinical practice. Students gain hands-on experience through clinical rotations and internships at the on-site veterinary teaching hospital, which treats a wide range of animals, from companion pets to livestock and exotic species. Specialized training is also provided in areas such as surgery, internal medicine, and diagnostic imaging.

In addition to the primary veterinary degree, the campus offers advanced programs and continuing education for practicing veterinarians. Research is a key focus, with courses and opportunities in fields like epidemiology, infectious diseases, and food safety, reflecting the school’s commitment to addressing global health challenges. Students can also explore electives in equine medicine, given the campus’s historical ties to horse care.
