The EAEVE is the entity that brings together the best Veterinary Schools in Europe, evaluates these schools through demanding procedures, and recognizes those that exceed international quality standards with certification.

The School of Veterinary Medicine at CEU UCH has surpassed the two standards of evaluation set by the EAEVE, for that reason our School of Veterinary Medicine has "Full Accreditation" / certification of accreditation of a high level of European quality. Among the more than one hundred Veterinary Schools across Europe, only 17 have this level of quality recognition, in Spain only our School and that of the Complutense University of Madrid have achieved this level.
