The Faculty of Veterinary Science started in 1938 as a School of Veterinary Science at Gordon Memorial College under the supervision of the Department of Veterinary Services. In 1945 the School was incorporated in the University College of Khartoum following the pattern of the rest of the other higher Schools.
