With only a few weeks to go before the new Clinical Animal
Behaviour PG programme goes live, Programme Director, Prof Nat Waran and Prog
Coordinator Dr Amy Miele are really pleased with the good number of
applications that they received. ‘It looks like we will be welcoming
considerably more students than we originally planned for in our first year,
and the diverse range of backgrounds and expertise makes for an excellent
student cohort ’ said Dr Amy Miele. She adds, 'this is a subject
area of growing interest and it is fantastic to see that so many veterinary and
animal welfare professionals are committed to developing their knowledge of
behaviour in order to improve the welfare of the animals in their care'.
The Programme, is an extension of the highly successful suite of online Masters
programmes offered through the RDSVS, including the International animal
welfare, ethics and law programme that was developed through the JMICAWE in
2012.
JMICAWE Director Prof Nat Waran, who is responsible for developing
this new programme comments; ’Its an interesting and challenging subject
area, with students from many countries coming together to study wholly online,
a range of subjects related to the theory of companion animal behaviour, causes
of problem behaviour and animal welfare needs including; learning and
motivation, behaviour modification, the science behind different therapies and
treatment of behavioural problems, and the human-animal bond . We are really
pleased to be able to offer this extremely socially relevant programme here at
the RDSVS where we are committed to providing quality evidence based
education to help improve animal welfare’.
