Congratulations to our MSc students on their Graduation!
Last week we were honoured to be present at the graduation of our MSc
students, and those collecting diplomas or credits for Personal Professional
Development in animal behaviour and welfare. Whether this had been a one year
intensive course in Edinburgh for the MSc in Applied Animal Behaviour and
Animal Welfare, or up to 6 years part time intermittent study for MSc
International Animal Welfare Ethics and Law or MSc Clinical Animal Behaviour we
are so proud of all our fantastic students whatever their journey may have been. It was lovely to be able to catch up with students who have been away
carrying out their dissertation research, or in some cases to meet students for
the first time in person who have been studying on the online programmes. It
was fantastic that so many family, friends and students travelled back to
Edinburgh for the graduation; and it is always a very special time for the
staff who have taught these students to see them collect their degrees.
It is a wonderful personal achievement for all our students,
but special praise goes to the winners of the dissertation prizes, whose work
was judged the best for that year.
This year we are delighted to be able to congratulate:
- Brianne Lyall (MSc Applied Animal Behaviour and Animal Welfare) for her dissertation: ‘Qualitative Behavioural Assessment of dairy cows to a systemic inflammatory challenge’
- Lesley Townsend (MSc Clinical Animal Behaviour) for her dissertation: ‘Who’s walking who? The relationship between pulling on the lead and dog welfare in the UK and Ireland’
- Stephanie Karageorgis (MSc International Animal Welfare, Ethics and Law) for her dissertation: ‘Comparison of emotional expression in brachycephalic and non-brachycephalic dog breed types using Qualitative Behaviour Assessment’
