Within the BSc program of the veterinary curriculum we offer students an introduction to the biology of what is meant by welfare and to our dynamic concept of welfare as related to the animal’s own capacity to adapt to environmental or other challenges. Within that framework we also teach the basics of practical welfare assessment. The master track will take this further and provide the knowledge and the skills actually to approach the management of animal welfare. As well as reviewing existing scientific knowledge, the course will also explore ethical norms and societal values, as well as legal frameworks affecting the assessment and management of welfare.
De afstudeereisen van dit master onderdeel zijn te vinden op Blackboard, in de module Master Algemeen > Toetsing in de master.

This track equips students within the master’s programme to become veterinarian with specialist knowledge of Animal Welfare Management. A maximum of 25 students will be admitted annually. The track consists of 20 weeks of courses on specific topics combined with an research internship of 19 weeks (for those pursuing a track in equine veterinary medicine: 17 weeks). The taught element of the course is divided in a compulsory core program (10 weeks) and an elective program (10 weeks). Students will write their Master’s thesis related to their research internship and also prepare a dissertation specifically within the track (track thesis) which will be the development of an animal welfare management plan (AWMP).A maximum of 25 students will be admitted annually. For more details please contact the course coordinator Dr. Arndt.
Let op: Bij het masterprogramma Paard duurt de track twee weken korter dan bij de programma’s Landbouwhuisdieren en Gezelschapsdieren, daarom krijg je bij afronding 3 EC minder toegekend.
