The Ordinance on the Licensing of Veterinarians (TAppV), which has been in effect since October 1, 2006, brings with it changes that affect the recognition of study and examination achievements. According to § 65 of the TAppV, the following are recognized in full or in part, provided that equivalence is given

• Periods of related studies at a university in Germany,

According to § 66 of the TAppV, the university of the state
