After the course the students will be able to:
1. understand general administrative principles in relation to animal law,
2. understand administrative measures and coercion,
3. relate to the effectiveness of preventive legal guarantee in relation to animal protection (in their own country).
The course will develop general skills as:
Communication skills: The ability to understand and express legal concepts clearly is crucial in animal law. This includes written (and oral) communication, which is practiced during the course.
Analytical and critical thinking: Animal law requires the ability to analyze various legal sources and also administrative control mechanisms, which is done during the course by training on a case. This develops the ability to think critically and analytically.
Problem solving skills: By studying different administrative control mechanisms in relation to animal protection, students have the opportunity to develop their skills to solve problems. This includes identifying problems, gathering relevant information, applying legislation and case law, and supporting one's argument on legal literature to find solutions.
Independent work, ability to manage one's own work: the course requires independent work, such as reading legislation and other legal texts with an understanding what they mean or could mean in practice. This develops the ability to take initiative, organize one's work and work independently.
Collaborative skills: During the course the students has to work together on a case. This develops the ability to work effectively in groups and to communicate and negotiate with others.
Time and resource management: The course assumes that the student must be able to manage hers/his time effectively in order to be able to study and prepare for assignments and exam. This includes the ability to prioritize tasks and use available resources effectively.
By developing these work life skills, students not only gain knowledge about administrative control and preventive legal protection in relation to animal protection, but also a valuable set of competencies that can be applied in a range of different professional contexts.
