Our on-campus MSc programme has got off to a brilliant start
this term, and we are delighted to welcome our new and returning students to
the new academic year. We now have 35
students enrolled from all corners of the world. Teaching officially started
two weeks ago, following a very successful induction and welcome session. We are now looking forward to an exciting
year ahead.
'We are delighted to welcome our new students to the programme and look forward to helping them learn about Animal Behaviour and Animal Welfare over the coming year.
We’ve already had a great overnight trip to the North of Scotland to visit the Highland Wildlife Park. It allowed us to all get to know each other a bit better, and also to learn about welfare implications of keeping animals in captivity. The Highland Wildlife Park arranged for the students to do a Welfare Assessment of certain enclosures and to discuss their recommendations with the keepers – really great experience!
The students have already started their Zoo Research Project at Edinburgh Zoo. They are working in groups and learning about carrying out behavioural observations of, for example, Gelada Baboons, Gentoo Penguins, Otters and Darwin’s Rhea.' Dr Susan Jarvis, Programme Director
The MSc in Applied Animal Behaviour and Animal Welfare is an on-campus, research-based programme run in collaboration with SRUC. Teaching is mainly based at the Easter Bush campus, a state-of-the-art facility.
