The online master's degree in Animal Law and Society has 60 ECTS credits.
It consists of 5 thematic blocks for a total of 50 ECTS credits and a final Master's Dissertation for 10 ECTS credits.
Each module has a programme to be followed by the students, using the materials provided. To this end the students have support from a personal online tutor. In addition, they can take part in online forums on each thematic block, in order to share their ideas with the other course participants: students, lecturers, module coordinators and specialist visiting lecturers.
The modules must be taken in order, according to the established calendar.
The practical module is also online and comprises the practical aspects of all the modules taught on the master's programme, together with case studies to be developed by the students themselves. These case studies are supplied by the teaching staff and may be suggested by collaborating organisations.
The Master's Dissertation consists of a paper on a topic chosen by the students, to be written under the tutorship of a member of the programme's teaching staff, and subsequently defended before an examining board.
