Future livestock farming models must be based on sustainability, within the framework of competitive and animal welfare-friendly production systems. Animal breeding not only contributes to the sustainability of production and increases its profitability, but also makes it possible, through new technologies, to improve its efficiency and adapt it to divergent consumer demand. Thus, population and quantitative genetics, molecular genetics and reproductive biotechnology, are currently basic subjects in livestock breeding development.
Population genetics has been responsible for major advances in breeds and animal populations used in production, and the more recently developed molecular genetics is increasingly contributing to breeding. Finally, reproductive biotechnology offers tools that enhance and facilitate the application of both quantitative and molecular breeding methods.
The programme provides solid training in these essential basic subjects that underpin animal breeding, and allows the acquisition of experience through the critical review of current breeding and reproductive biotechnology programmes carried out in different species, discussions with professionals in the sector and technical visits to public and private institutions involved in breeding programmes.

More programs from the university

There are a number of bachelor’s degrees at Universitat Politecnica de Valencia.

To get onto an undergraduate program at UPV, you will need to:

• Have passed the University Access Test of the Spanish education system
• Have passed a Specific Higher Vocational Training, Advanced Plastic Arts and Design Specialist and Advanced Sports Specialist
• Have passed the University Entrance Examinations for over 25s or 45s or the procedure for those over 40 with professional or work experience
• Hold a university degree
• Hold the required studies, according to the educational system of a foreign country and meeting the academic requirements required in their educational systems to access their universities. Students must obtain the corresponding accreditation at the UNED, which may require the prior approval of their degrees of access


At UPV, all degrees have admission caps indicating the maximum number of new students who can enrol in certain classes. Students who pre-enrol are arranged based on their admission mark and this determines who is offered a place.

For tuition, students can either make payment in one instalment, two instalments, or in eight instalments.

International students on undergraduate programs must undergo the university’s pre-registration process, and different dates are assigned to each Autonomous Community. Before carrying out the pre-registration students must obtain the necessary documentation at the UNED .


To earn a place at postgraduate level on a master’s degree program at UPV, students must:

• Hold an official university degree in Spain or a degree issued by a higher education institution belonging to another member state of the EHEA that authorizes access to master’s degrees

Graduates may also access a master's degree according to educational systems outside the EHEA without validating their degree if the university is equivalent to a Spanish university degree.

After the corresponding pre-registration process, students will be admitted if they hit the academic criteria. In some cases, a student may be required to complete complementary training based on the previous accredited training.

Students can pay their tuition in one instalment, two instalments, or in eight instalments.

International students need to undergo the university pre-registration process.
