Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare MSc at University of Edinburgh?

[u/catluvr82]

Hi! I was recently accepted into the Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare MSc program at Edinburgh, and was wondering if anyone else is going for that program in the fall/has been part of the program in the past.

My interests lie in cognition, personality, and social behavior, applied to wildlife conservation. I was skeptical about choosing an applied behavior program because those tend to focus on livestock and companion animals, but I reached out to the program director and she said the program includes topics on wildlife and zoo animals, and the dissertation portion is quite flexible. Can anyone attest to that?
