Atatürk University, which is one of the leading educational institutions of our country with its quality education, qualified academic human resources and equipped application units, continues to be approved by various institutions and organizations for its studies carried out in line with the New YÖK (Higher Education Counsil) Vision.

After the application was made following the necessary preparations, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine was accepted as a Fully Accredited Faculty by the Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Veterinary Education Institutions and Programs (VEDEK).

The report prepared after VEDEK's re-evaluation visit to the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, which was accredited for 2 years in the previous years, was discussed at the Veterinary Educational Institutions and Programs Accreditation Committee (VAK) meeting.

At the meeting, it was decided that Atatürk University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine would become a Fully Accredited Faculty for 7 years, since it met all the minimum requirements set by VEDEK, and the Accreditation Certificate was delivered to the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.
