Interdisciplinary surveys and seminars [SSPSB208]

Learning outcomes

The aim of this learning activity is to show the student of the 2nd Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine the many possibilities that are open to the veterinarian in his professional life. The interdisciplinary seminars provide a more comprehensive overview of these possibilities, while the socio-professional investigations give the student the opportunity to analyse a professional situation in detail.

Socio-professional surveys: Using the analytical tools acquired during the Baccalaureate 1 philosophy course, the aim is to place the very specific world of veterinary surgeons in the context of a more global reflection on science, health, the industrialisation of the rural world and urban organisation. Therefore, the work consists first of all, in the Baccalaureate 2 seminar, of carrying out a socio-professional survey, grouped by theme, among veterinary surgeons and specialised organisations, and based on specialised documents and literature. Interdisciplinary seminar courses in human education: This course is given simultaneously to 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate students. As students follow this course for two consecutive years, they have the opportunity to attend a cycle of 18 seminars. The 9 annual seminars are given by guest speakers and are each followed by a debate. The topics covered are ethics, ethology, public health, human-animal relations, agricultural economics and professional issues.
