With the foregoing in mind, the Department of Clinical Studies, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Nairobi has developed a post graduate program in wildlife health and management.
Objectives
The objectives of the program are:-
To produce personnel capable of undertaking research and management in wildlife health issues at the academic, government, regulatory/policy, or commercial level.
To develop a core of faculty and collaborators active in wildlife health research
To provide practical training for those interested in medicine, surgery and disease surveillance of wildlife species.
raduate students enroll in either the MSc or PhD course with one of the existing sections at Kyoto University’s Primate Research Institute (PRI), or alternatively at Kyoto University’s Wildlife Research Center (WRC). Both degrees offered are research-focused, but Master’s students are also required to complete a set of courses and training programs provided by either PRI or WRC. Students who have successfully completed their Master’s degrees typically progress to the PhD program.
An English language entrance examination to both MSc and PhD was established in August 2010.
Graduate students who enter the program will belong to one of the existing sections at PRI or WRC. MSc students have to take a series of classes in Primatology from April to June, but some of the classes are not taught in English but slides and supplementary information in English are available.
A special workshop for international and Japanese students will be managed by the Center for International Collaboration and Advanced Studies in Primatology (CICASP), which was founded in April 2009.
The MSc in Conservation Biology provides you with a knowledge base and the practical experience to address issues relating to biodiversity conservation and biodiversity management. Modern conservation science transcends the traditional boundaries of biology, ecology and environmental management. Today’s managers of biodiversity need to be versed in a broad range of specialist fields, from population
The masters course is designed to train researchers to an internationally competitive level in behavioural sciences, specifically in the areas of personality and behaviour, cognition and plasticity, primatology and in research methodology in behavioural sciences. This programme has obtained a quality award from the Catalan University Quality Assurance Agency (AQU). The teaching plan consists of a number of subjects that provide an overall update in the contents of these areas, complemented with solid training in research methodology and other related topics, such as neuroscience. The master’s degree also prepares students to access the doctoral programme. In particular, it is associated with the UB doctoral programmes in Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, and in Biodiversity.
The Master’s Degree in Biology provides training for each student to choose their preferred field and to acquire a wide range of key skills in biology as well as cross-cutting knowledge.
This Master offers an integrative approach: it starts with a common core of courses providing in-depth knowledge in the main disciplines of biology, then opens with six specific orientations.
The MRes in Primatology and Conservation is a research-intensive programme that combines the expertise of anthropologists and biologists.
