At the end of November we
celebrated the graduation of our International Animal Welfare Ethics and Law
MSc students. The graduation ceremony took place at the University of Edinburgh’s beautiful Usher
Hall and afterwards our graduates and their families were invited to a post-graduation
drinks reception at the Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh.
We very much enjoyed
meeting up with our students, some of whom we had never met in person before
due to the online nature of the MSc in International Animal Welfare Ethics and
Law. This year, graduate Jane Stirling was awarded the UFAW prize for the best
dissertation for her thesis entitled: Does the cage-trapping of corvids
cause unnecessary suffering? A behavioural study of trapped magpies (Pica
pica).
The ceremony is a wonderful way
to celebrate their achievements and we congratulate all our graduates, those
that were able to attend the ceremony and those that could not make it to
Edinburgh this time. We welcome the graduates into our growing IAWEL Alumni
community and wish them all the best in whatever they do next.
