An extremely well structured and relevant course. Covers all the basic tenets of animal welfare science and provides many interesting links for anyone aspiring in depth knowledge or research based references. I suggest it for all Veterinarians and mostly those serving on board of institutional ethics committees.

Outstanding. I really appreciated the quality of the videos. The ability to watch the presenters in action was useful and more fulfilling than reading through traditional slide delivery models. The pace was spot on and material very insightful. I feel much more prepared to continue my animal welfare journey.

The entire teaching team did an outstanding job of presenting the current knowledge of animal behavior and welfare. I really appreciated their sense of purpose in letting everyone know about the important issues regarding the humane treatment of animals. Thanks so much for your generosity and dedication.

This was a very informative course. It is difficult to see videos of abused animals and animals in distress but we need to see these to be aware of what is happening in the world and advocate for changes. The course does a good job of showing us videos of happy animals to counteract the disturbing images.

I am a dog trainer in the United States, and I highly valued the information I learned regarding animal welfare of all species. I am very passionate about animals and how they are treated, so this course was fine tuned to exactly what I care about. I enjoyed everything I learned here. Highly recommend!

It was a great course, good material, and it is great for begginers and advanced, since I'm more into wild animals, zoos, training and all, I just feel like it was only focusing on farm animals and just a short module on wild animals in captivity. But far from that, I'll definitely take a second part.

This course has inspired me to look at further learning on this subject. It's really well delivered and broken down into a really good balance of species and topics. A really solid, educational course, which I really enjoyed doing. Great learning platform which is easy to access - thank you for this.

Absolutely brilliant course. The pace, the information, the explanations, all very well done. I'll admit, some of the videos and images were difficult to watch, I would suggest a warning right before it is shown as to mentally prepare. However, I may be overly sensitive! Thank you for this course!

Very informative, well put together, and just so nice to be able to take a course on this subject. Really appreciate the free courses by Edinburgh University's Veterinary School. I've done Equine Nutrition and Do You Have What it Takes to be a Vet? I really enjoyed both of them and learned a lot.

It was really fun to learn more about animal behaviour and welfare! I'm really glad this course exists to help me get a glimpse of it. The videos and reading materials were all very informative and easy to understand. The additional reading materials are very helpful and appreciated! Thank you!

A highly informative and though provoking course that I have thoroughly enjoyed working through. It engaged my critical thinking skills and enabled challenging of bias in assessing welfare settings. As an aspiring vet med student, this has been very useful to understand how to assess welfare.

This course is highly inspiring, it was garnishes with high quality video resources to aid students understanding, it has enlarge my scope about animal welfare, and pilot my interest in field of wildlife and production Animal welfare. Also, it has stimulate my interest in getting a pet (cat).

Loved this course. It has really sparked my interest in learning more and building my small store of knowledge further. Good content, interesting lecturers, varied strands within overall subject. This is my second course run by Edinburgh University and I will certainly be looking for more.

Thank you, Coursera especially the resource speakers for such very informative and very interesting topics that u have shared. I my knowledge of how to handle animals dealing with their rights and welfare. I hope to be invited again for your next training and seminar. thank you once again

I learned a lot about animal welfare and will use this information as I develop my career in the zoological field. This also taught me a lot about farm animal life and how pets at home often don't have as great a life we think they do and what we can do to better their lives in the house.

This is an insightful course for me as a veterinarian. I now believe strongly that the foundation of my career is to ensure animal welfare. Studying this course has given me the understanding of behavioural and physiological assessments of animal welfare. Thank you to all the instructors.

I really enjoyed the course. The modules had a excellent content and it was easy to follow because all speakers described everything very well.

I would definitely do the course again! And obviously recommend it to anyone interested in animals and understanding better their welfare issues.

I really enjoyed this course, it was an amazing learning experience and I found it very intellectually stimulating. I now know a lot more about animal welfare than I did before beginning this course, and I am very grateful to the instructors for providing such great material. Thank you!

Dear Coursera authority, It is a prestigious international organisation. Recently i have complete the Animal Behaviour and Welfare course and gani a certificate that's need $49 dollars. But i am financially week, so It is your kind request to give me this certificate without payment.

Sin duda este curso te da un enfoque objetivo dentro de lo que es el bienestar animal, tanto respecto a nuestras mascotas como a los animales salvajes que están en cautiverio y los animales de granja. Se agradece que hayan omitido imágenes/videos de horror y sufrimiento a los animales.

Me gustó mucho la temática abordada en cada semana. Quizá me encantaría que completamente todos los videos estén subtitulados al español, así como también que haya videos complementarios que fortalezcan aún la teoría mirada en clase.

De verdad es muy genial el curso, aprendí muchísimo.

Great course! Corso che apre la mente su problematiche a tutti molto vicine, anche se pensiamo che non ci riguardino. Qui viene descritto molto bene e imparzialmente come avviene l'allevamento, facendo riflettere su quello che si considera solo cibo, in realtà è molto di più, è vita.

I was intrigued by the number of resources embedded in this course. I am able to directly apply the concept learned to improve my performance and skills on the job. My profound gratitude to the faculty for the evidence-based behavioral and scientific approach adopted in this course.

Great experience. I'm Muhammad Anas from Pakistan. Memorable course for me. Course was full of knowledge. In Sha ALLAH, I will complete many other courses in future. I recommend Coursera website to everyone for amazing and great courses offered by Word's top universities. Thanks 🌹

This is a wonderful class. I am passionate about animals and their quality of life. This was a class that taught many introductory ideas. The class aught students ways in which they can effectively and objectively observe and discuss issues of animal welfare in a constructive way.
