Programme description

O Programa de Mestrado em Enfermagem Veterinária pode levar a estudos de doutorado e fornece aos alunos o conhecimento necessário para trabalhar de forma sustentável e ética com desenvolvimento, inovação e enfermagem veterinária. O programa se baseia em elementos científicos, sociais e éticos relevantes com ligações claras à pesquisa, indústria e ao futuro papel profissional.

A internacionalização é possível por meio de colaborações com instituições de ensino superior no exterior que oferecem programas de bacharelado em enfermagem veterinária. Graças a essas colaborações, é possível conduzir visitas de estudo, projetos e trabalhar com o projeto independente no exterior.

During their first year, students will take a range of closely linked courses. In the second year, students choose further courses and complete an independent project. They will develop both broad subject knowledge and an in-depth understanding of the theoretical knowledge and methods in veterinary science. Students will also gain insight into research and development work. Students will develop skills for working both independently and in groups, and for seeking new and relevant knowledge. Throughout the programme, students will have the opportunity to practise their written and oral skills. The programme emphasises the ability to apply ethical, efficient and sustainable perspectives to analysing solutions, and includes elements of professional attitudes. Throughout the programme, students will learn about and practise communication and collaboration skills with other professionals and animal owners.

The first year provides students with a good understanding of the philosophy of science thus preparing them for their independent project, and teaches scientific approaches relevant to their future careers. The programme provides students with advanced knowledge of veterinary nursing, medicine and surgery, assessment and treatment methods for rehabilitation and veterinary nursing for anaesthesiology and emergency/intensive care.

In-depth subject study continues during the second year of the programme. Knowledge is applied to relevant projects and is used in discussions with societal stakeholders. The programme concludes with an independent degree project worth 30 credits, in which students can apply their knowledge and skills to a relevant topic in their major. The programme provides students with a good understanding of the philosophy of science and creates a solid basis for doctoral studies.

The programme is taught in English.
