Learning objectives and assessment

The learning objectives at the end of this document draw attention to material that will be covered by a ‘closed book’ assessment at the end of the course and so should be read beforehand. A Letter of Attendance will be issued to research candidates who pass the assessment. If a research candidate does not pass the assessment, the Chief Investigator of the project will be contacted to ensure adequate supervision is in place.

What to bring

You will be sent a fictitious Animal Ethics Committee application by email. Please print this and bring it on the second day of the course.
