The Department of Food safety and Public Heath offers specialised courses including general and special pathology, pharmacology, therapeutics and minor surgery all combined with the basic sciences, starting from structures, leading gradually to diseases control and their economic implications as well as their impact on food quality and safety.

Environmental subjects are inserted when applicable, to develop students’ awareness on environmental issues and their management. After the first 2 years, students are ready for their specialisation year for a diploma, either Diploma in Livestock Health Sciences (DLH) or Livestock in Products Development and Entrepreneurship (DLPDE).
