Mål

Kursen avser att ge fördjupad kunskap om djurs grundläggande behov, beteende, miljö och välfärd samt sambanden mellan dessa.

Efter avslutad kurs ska studenten kunna:

diskutera och kritiskt granska forskning inom etologi, djurskydd och djurvälfärd,
bedöma och diskutera olika djurhållningsformer utifrån perspektiven djurvälfärd, etologi och djuretik
tillämpa djurskyddslagstiftning och/eller djurskyddsregelverk och kunna analysera och reflektera över dessa både ur ett nationellt och internationellt perspektiv på djurvälfärd och djuretik
utforma och genomföra projekt inom etologi och djurvälfärd med hjälp av lämpliga experimentella metoder och med lämplig design
presentera vetenskaplig information för en specificerad publik

Innehåll

Kursen innehåller fördjupning inom områdena etologi och djurskydd.

Kursen är uppbyggd av självstudier med seminarier av vetenskaplig litteratur, där studenten aktivt leder genomförandet. Kursen innehåller ett antal nyckelföreläsningar, tillämpade övningar, bedömning av djurhållningsformer samt ett projektarbete i form av en vetenskaplig etologisk studie. I kursen tränas de generella kompetenserna debatt och argumentationsförmåga genom övningar där aktuella djurskyddsfrågor diskuteras ut flera olika perspektiv. Kursen innehåller ett projektarbete och studiebesök.

Obligatoriska moment förekommer inom t.ex. övningar, seminarium, projektarbeten och studiebesök.
