Do not miss the opportunity to study this postgraduate diploma with us. It's the perfect opportunity to advance your career”

Unlike other training programs, the postgraduate diploma in Hunting and Game Management approaches wildlife management from an interdisciplinary point of view.  

In this postgraduate diploma you will delve into hunting management as one more piece in the treatment of wildlife and conservation, so the objective is to achieve a sustainable use of resources; setting rhythms that do not contribute to a decrease in biological diversity in the long term while integrating other uses into the environment. 

Wildlife management covers a wide spectrum of lines of research and action, in addition to the study of health surveillance and disease control, which is usually the general line of study in similar programs. However, in the future, veterinary professionals will have to face other lines of work in biodiversity conservation, which are also extensively developed throughout the syllabus. 

Nowadays, it is difficult to find a program like this one, which provides students with specialized training in the use of the most common software in daily practice. Today there are many computer tools available that are considered necessary and that facilitate and increase the level of quality of work.  

One of the aspects that is usually lost sight of in species management is the territorial analysis of their habitats and their areas of distribution.  

Species biology is not only based on theoretical knowledge, but also on spatial and geolocalized data. The only way to understand and visualize how species are distributed is by using Geographic Information Systems to represent and model the data.  

The postgraduate diploma in Hunting and Game Management has thematic modules based on cartographic analysis, predictable and/or potential hunting areas, and official sources to download information. A specialized and advanced program that will initiate professional veterinarians in handling different tools, loading data obtained in field visits, representing data and exploiting information to make decisions when managing a species and the areas where it lives. 

This complete training program is designed by professors with the highest recognized degree of specialization, thus guaranteeing its quality in all aspects in wildlife, both clinical and scientific. A unique opportunity to specialize in an area where professional positions are in high demand, from the hands of outstanding professionals.
