The University of Veterinary Science, Yezin ((ビルマ語:မွေးမြူရေးဆိုင်ရာဆေးတက္ကသိုလ်(ရေဆင်း)) (:mwémjùjé sʰàɪɴjà sʰé tɛʔkəθò (jèzɪ́ɴ))), located in Yezin in the outskirts of Naypyidaw, is the only university of veterinary science in Myanmar (Burma). The university offers a six-year Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc) program, and accepts about 100 students a year. It also offers graduate (PhD, MPhil, MSc and MVSc) degree programs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=University of Veterinary Science, Yezin )〕 The language of instruction at UVS is English. ==History== Veterinary science education in Myanmar began in 1890 during the British colonial rule when the Veterinary Assistant Training School was opened at Shan Road in Kyimyindaing, Yangon. The school offered a two-year program, and senior veterinary officer Bhattiwallah was its first principal. In 1920, the school was upgraded, and the faculty was expanded by 12 veterinary inspectors and five veterinary superintendents, all non-Burmese. In 1923, the first Burmese veterinarian, Pe Than, a graduate of Bengal Veterinary College, was appointed a vet superintendent at the school. In February 1925, Governor Sir Harcourt Butler laid the foundation stone for the construction of the school's new building in Insein that would later bear his name. By 1931, the original two-year program had been extended to three years. In 1957, the Veterinary College, a Faculty of Rangoon University was established at the Insein campus. The school's four-year BSc (Veterinary) program accepted university students who passed Intermediate Science Part II with distinctions in zoology, chemistry and physics. In 1964, the college became the Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science (IAHVS) ( (:təɹeɪʔsʰàɴ mwémjùjé n̥ɪ̰ɴ sʰé kṵθa̰jé tɛʔkəθò)), under the Ministry of Education, offering a six-year BVSc program. From 1957 to 1975, the two-year vet assistant program at the Veterinary Assistant Training School and the bachelor's degree program at the IAHVS were concurrently offered by two different government ministries. In 1981, the IAHVS was relocated to Yezin, Pyinmana (now part of Naypyidaw). In October 1999, the institute's name was formally changed to the present name in both English and Burmese. During the 1990s, the UVS like most universities in the country was repeatedly closed by the military government fearing of student unrest. On 31 December 1994, the institute came under the administration of the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries. The university began offering postgraduate courses for MPhil in 1988, MVSc and MSc programs in 1992, and three-year doctoral (PhD) programs in 2007. The government has sent some of the faculty to the Universiti Putra Malaysia for doctoral studies. The total number of graduates at the university between 1957 and 2012 was 4409.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Background history of University of Veterinary Science )〕 The Japanese government has sponsored two to three Burmese veterinarians for MSc and PhD courses each year since 2000. A new generation of foreign trained veterinarians has begun to take over the teaching roles at the UVS, with some of them as departmental head and/or professors. Moreover, some of staff from UVS were also supported by German Academic Exchange {Deutscher Akademisher Austauschdienst (DAAD). More outstanding staff got scholarships from DAAD. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Veterinary Science, Yezin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
