Specialist teaching is performed internally at the NMBU Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and is not an open study programme. Those who take such education are usually employees of the university.
The specialist studies can be taken at both academic and private institutions, provided that the institution’s specialist study programme has been approved. It is an absolute requirement that the candidate's supervisor holds a specialist diploma and there is often a requirement for the institution to be linked to European specialists in the specific field of study. There is also a requirement for the institution to have access to a sufficient number of case histories, have modern equipment and have access to all relevant academic and scientific literature and facilities for research.
European specialist studies in one or more disciplines are now offered in many European countries, mainly at universities, but also at some large private clinics.
