The Master degree programme in Domestic Animal Biology is aimed at students who do not meet the entry requirements for the Master degree programme in Animal Science, but desire a high level of biological competence in one of the fields within domestic animal science. In addition to the Master degree in Animal Science, society needs competence within domestic animal science combined with related biological subjects.Candidates are qualified to manage domestic animals at different levels in society. (Eksempler) The degree qualifies students for Ph.D. studies within Animal Sciences.

Admission requirements
A Bachelor’s degree in Biology/Science that includes at least 20 credits at the 100 or 200 level within ethology. Alternative: Bachelor’s degree in Biology/Science with a focus on nutrition or physiology. The Bachelor’s degree must contain basic courses in mathematics and statistics, a minimum of 10 credits each.

The course syllabus contains much material in English. International studies are possible provided prior course approval.

Related studies
The programme is related to the Master degree programme in Animal Science, but is more flexible and can build on another background than the Bachelor degree in Animal Science. The programme may therefore be suitable for students not qualified for the Master degree programme in Animal Science.

Learning goals
Students must specialise in one of the four fields of Animal Science: ethology, breeding, nutrition, molecular genetics and product quality or a combination of these. Knowledge and understanding will depend on the area of specialisation. The students will acquire in-depth knowledge of one or more fields, and will be able to apply their theoretical and practical knowledge to solve problems in community.

Teaching and evaluation methods
The programme applies a wide range of teaching methods, such as practical work, lectures, excursions, independent studies, exercises and seminars by students.Oral or written final exam, or continuous evaluation.

Programme content
The Master’s degree programme in Domestic Animal Biology includes two specialisations: 1. Ethology 2. Domestic Animal Biology. At least 40 credits are required within the specialisation in addition to the Master’s thesis. At least 25 credits must be at the 300 level. The Master’s thesis is selected in cooperation with adviser and is worth 30 credits, but it may, on application, be increased to 60 credits. An example plan is available for ethology. Compulsory and recommended courses: Ethology: compulsory courses are HET300, HET301, HET302, plus HET201 if absent from the Bachelor’s degree. Courses in behavioural ecology at the levels 200 and 300 are recommended. Domestic Animal Biology: Students are required to compose a study plan which must be approved by the Department. Sufficient background knowledge of the selected courses is necessary for approval.

Student advising
The study programme has a student adviser.

Evaluation
