“For me it is a step towards getting certified as a Danish veterinary specialist. I had applied to become a certified Danish veterinary specialist and had received an education plan before I became aware of this Master programme. But when I saw this programme, I immediately applied. I saw that the Master programme maybe could be the help I needed to get the academic part in place in the sense, that I get to produce literature, articles, and assignments. For me, who works in a practice, that would be a way to set aside time to write articles which otherwise would be difficult in a busy life.”
