MSc Clinical Animal Behaviour (Available Full-time or part-time)
The MSc in Clinical Animal Behaviour aims to produce professionals who are practically able, critical and independent thinkers with specialist knowledge of the development, diagnosis and management of behavioural disorders and conflicts in companion animal species, especially dogs and cats. The course gives particular emphasis to the development of relevant skills training and so graduates should be competent in the application of appropriate treatment methodologies which also safeguard the animal's well-being and longer term interests.
Students will also be equipped with the necessary business skills to start their own business, since most employment in this discipline is self-employment. Units of study, include: Human-animal interactions, Development and regulation of animal behaviour, Domestic animal behaviour & cognition, Animal welfare, Small business start up and operation skills, Clinical skills for animal behaviour management, Thesis.
