Develop and apply your knowledge of animal behaviour and training with this master's degree. It has been designed to allow you to develop a critical understanding of the factors influencing animal learning, as well as the dynamic interactions between classical and operant conditioning that form the fundamental basis for a competent and adaptive animal trainer or behaviour consultant.

You will develop critical awareness of the ethical, legal and welfare issues related to animal management that are essential when working within the animal industry, helping you to select humane behaviour modification and management techniques.

This programme is delivered with a variety of learning and teaching approaches to include all students' learning styles and preferences.

For all modules, theory lectures are delivered that aim to deliver the core content and provide the underpinning knowledge. Using the webinar software, staff are able to monitor engagement to ensure participations.

To complement all theory lectures, you will have asynchronous seminars that are used to reinforce concepts delivered theoretically. Online webinars focus on facilitating a student-centred approach to enhance the independent learning that takes place outside of the webinar lecture sessions.
