Master's degree pioneer in the field of ethology in company animals, endorsed by the UAB and which is 100% online. The objective of the master's degree is for students to obtain the necessary knowledge to be able to assess any aspect related to the behavior of the company's animals, thereby resolving the main behavioral problems. We focus especially on gos and cats, but also provide advice for getting started in the clinical ethology of exotic animals (ocells, small mammals and reptiles) and equids. Furthermore, we are convinced that to achieve these objectives we need two basic tips:
* Offer the student a great name of practical hours to help apply the knowledge acquired during the theoretical hours of the Master's.
* Consolidate the clinical application in the most basic foundations of ethology (ontogènia of behavior, physiology of behavior, etc.). Each clinical case is particular, and the student has to deal with all the variety of behavioral alterations that are encountered in the daily clinic.
To qualify for pre-registration it is essential to send your resume to the coordination (marta.amat@uab.cat).
