General Objectives
The aim of the Master's Degree in Zootechnical Engineering is to enable students, supported by a solid background in mathematics, chemistry, physics and animal biological systems, to develop advanced skills in conception, design, technical direction, management, assessment, professional training, consulting, teaching and scientific research in various strands/disciplines of intensive and non-intensive animal production and their integrated approach, in basic processing and quality control processes of animal products and in breeding animals for leisure and companionship purposes. We aim to achieve these objectives in a demanding framework of ethical standards and up-to-date scientific knowledge and in line with the quality required for a second cycle of university studies, giving support and importance to the professional performance of future Masters from a business perspective that both generates wealth through scientific knowledge and is rational in the management of natural resources.
