Overview
During the Laboratory Animal Science course at the Utrecht University, the attitude formation of the participant towards the laboratory animals and within animal experiments is of paramount importance. All legal requirements will be discussed.
The programme
Animal experiments should be set up and carried out by experts. In all cases, harm to the well-being of the experimental animal must be reduced to the absolute minimum. After all, all animals ultimately have the same intrinsic value. This requires knowledge, expertise and a correct attitude towards experimental animals.
Utrecht University has been providing the course in Experimental Animal Science since 1986, making it the longest running and most frequently taught course in Europe. Annually, this course is given about eight times. The course is established, provided and continuously updated with the developments in science, ethics and legislation.
