University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover

The University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover (German: Tierärztliche Hochschule Hannover, TiHo) is a university in Hanover and one of the five facilities for veterinary medicine in Germany, and the only one that remains independent.

The rest is mostly engaged in the 5 clinics and 13 institutes for pretty much every field of veterinary medicine.

The clinics have an average of 49,000 patients a year (hospitalized, outpatient and polyclinical care), and of course, there are a lot of apprentices in related professions.

The school also maintains a botanical garden specializing in medicinal and poisonous plants, the Heil- und Giftpflanzengarten der Tierärztlichen Hochschule Hannover.

The TiHo was founded in 1778 under the regency of George III and originally named Roß-Arzney-Schule.
