About the university

The existence of USVT is related to the establishment of the Faculty of Agronomy, within the Polytechnic Institute of Timi?oara, by Law no. 617 promulgated by King Michael I on 30 July 1945. In 1948, the Faculty of Agronomy was transformed into an Agronomic Institute. In the same year, the Institute of Zootechnics and Veterinary Medicine was established in Arad, with two faculties: Zootechnics and Veterinary Medicine. In 1955, the Faculty of Zootechnics was transferred to the Agronomic Institute in Timi?oara, and in 1957, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine was integrated into a similar faculty in Bucharest. In 1957, the Faculty of Zootechnics was transformed into a section of the Faculty of Agronomy and functioned until 1962 under the name of the Faculty of Agriculture and Zootechnics. In 1962, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine was established within Timi?oaras Agronomic Institute. In 1968, by the Order of the Minister of Education no. 80646, the Faculty of Zootechnics was re-established, the Agronomic Institute functioning, until 1987, with three faculties: Agriculture, Zootechnics and Veterinary Medicine.
