STUDY START

This program runs for 6 months and offers many engaging lectures. The online course can be completed within half a year, but there is room for individual adjustments. The structure allows everyone to participate, even those who are working. In addition, our lecturers organize interactive sessions where students can ask questions, join study groups, and engage in discussions with both instructors and fellow students. Lectures are held via Thinkific and typically take place over two days each month, included in the online curriculum.

If you are unable to attend a session due to illness or other reasons, you won`t miss out- all of the meetings are recorded and made available for later viewing.

Tasks:

We explore the connection between behavioral biology, training opportunities, and communication, in order to meet participants’ needs to train their animals for desired behaviors at the clinic or in other environments.
