  Contribution of the Course to Key Learning Outcomes
# Key Learning Outcome Contribution*
1 At the end of this programme, the students improve and deepen their knowledge in the field of Animal Science by building on the knowledge and competence acquired at the undergraduate level and can employ interdisciplinary interaction in their field of study. 5
2 The students interpret and generate new information and theories in specific fields related to Animal Science using the theoretical and practical knowledge at masters level. Also, they can reveal the cause-effect relationship regarding the problems in their field of study and employ scientific research methods to generate possible solutions. 5
3 The students independently identify potential problems and carry out research studies aiming at solutions in the field of Animal Science. Also, they investigate and develop strategic approaches for potential problems that may arise related to the particular studies. 3
4 The students access and compile information about the latest developments and fundamental sources in the particular field and reach a new synthesis by evaluating and interpreting the existing research. They can make use of this acquired knowledge to practice the profession effectively and follow the improving implementations in the field. 5
5 The students use information in the field of Animal Science, through compiling, interpreting and synthesising it, in order to make social contributions. They make evaluations by creating a plan and framework and taking specific total quality criteria into consideration. They use the skills and knowledge acquired in the field of Animal Science in joint projects with other disciplines. 5
6 The students discuss and pass on the acquired knowledge based on their work in the field by making written and oral presentations. They have speaking and writing competence in at least one foreign language at a level that enables them to keep up with the requirements of the age. They express their ideas clearly using the tools of information and communication technologies. 0
* Contribution levels are between 0 (not) and 5 (maximum).
