Quiero felicitar a la universidad por este master ya que es un programa de especialización profesional de excelente calidad, el plan de estudios es muy completo y los catedráticos que imparten cada una de las clases son expertos en el tema. Este master me ayudo a ser consciente de la responsabilidad social y al desarrollo de mi capacidad de empatía, a desarrollar una actitud favorable hacia el bienestar de los animales y conocer los derechos que tienen, para así tener las bases necesarias para poder interceder en favor de ellos.

The Master in Animal Law and Society has provided me with significant knowledge about the field of animal law in the world. The faculty is made up of renowned and internationally recognized professors in their areas of expertise. The methodology of the course facilitates the student's learning, as well as being accessible to all who wish to deepen into the subject. In my case, I was looking for a course where I could combine my training in veterinary medicine with my current studies in the field of law, and I can say that the Master has exceeded my expectations.

I learned about this International animal law program through the Humane Society of the United States. I have been interested in advancing my position with the Humane Society and doing more work for animal advocacy, so when I learned about this program I knew immediately that I wanted to enroll. I have always been engaged in anti-cruelty laws and issues surrounding unethical hunting; and I am privy to animal issues in agriculture, experimentation, and entertainment, but this animal law program introduced me to topics I previously didn’t know anything about.

I really like the international approach of this Master. You get to know students and professors from all over the world and “travel” with them in their lecture series to the different countries and continents learning about the current state of play regarding animal protection there. The focus of this Master does not only lie on legal aspects but also gives you a broad insight into the current veterinary scientific discussion as well as raises many ethical issues.

This unique Master has taught me so many things, not just the legal aspects of animal welfare, but also on ethical and veterinarian matters, and provides the opportunity to meet other students and professors from all over the world.

I would highly recommend doing the on-site version of this Master, since you get to experience living in the amazing city of Barcelona and are able to do internships at great NGOs, and join the events organised by the Master.

Me inscribí con la incertidumbre (y el miedo) propia(o) de adentrarme en un mundo desconocido y ya no quiero salir del mismo. Considero que el Máster en Derecho Animal y Sociedad debería impartirse en todas las universidades del mundo. Es necesario y perentorio (para mí, un deber moral) formar a las personas humanas desde una perspectiva que favorezca que el mundo del Derecho Animal adquiera robustez y universalidad.

El Master ofrece una excelente oportunidad para adquirir una visión amplia y comprensiva del alcance del Derecho Animal como disciplina, teniendo en cuenta sus diversos niveles (del local al internacional), ordenes legislativos y jurisdiccionales (civil, administrativo, penal…) y ámbitos de aplicación (según las distintas especies de animales y actividades humanas con ellos). Asimismo, permite entrar en contacto con profesionales y expertos en la materia de diversos lugares del mundo, así como el siempre enriquecedor intercambio con estudiantes de otros países.

To me the Master has a precious content and was taught by key persons and institutions, I would definitely recommend as a full time training, if possible on site.

I did the Master online, aside of my job

I am very glad that i had the opportunity to study animal law in Barcelona. Being a biologist, it was not so easy at first - the law- but i learnt a lot! Most lecturers were ready to help and happy to provide more info if i had questions. I also could learn spanish during my time there and many students of the Master remain friends today. We came from many places around the world so we could (and s)ll do!) share experiences and problems we face in our own country. So my time there was quite positive! We had a lot of time to study and it also allowed us to work on the side.

El Máster en Derecho Animal y Sociedad de la UAB es pionero en Europa.
Además, es una formación muy reconocida y es muy interesante porque hay pocos juristas en Derecho animal. Eso permite sobresalirse.
La Universidad de Barcelona es una muy buena facultad, bien valorada en el QS World University Rankings.

Los profesores vienen de toda parte del Mundo (China, USA, Francia etc). Tenemos profesorado de calidad.
El programa de estudio es muy rico. Ahora tengo concomimientos en nutrición, ciencia veterinaria, historia, filosofía, y por supuesto leyes.

A course led by passionate professionals, with some highly acclaimed guest lecturers. A great insight into animal law at national and international level.
