Exotics, or New Companion Animal (NCA) Medicine is a rapidly expanding field within veterinary practice, reflecting the growing diversity of species kept as pets and the need for specialized clinical responses. This fully online postgraduate course aims to meet the demand for advanced and up-to-date training in the clinical management of small mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, and ornamental fish. The programme brings together internationally recognised lecturers with extensive academic and practical experience, ensuring a strong technical-scientific framework focused on clinical application. With a total of 80 hours, delivered through both live thematic sessions and recorded content, the course combines flexible access with academic rigour, promoting the development of essential skills for medical care of non-conventional species.

Wildlife conservation operates at an epicenter where human, animal, and environmental health converge, giving it special relevance in safeguarding global health, animal welfare, and human well-being. This course aims to prepare wildlife professionals to operate at this nexus with knowledge, skills, and ethical responsibility. Through a multidisciplinary lens, the course equips participants—primarily veterinarians—with a deep understanding of wildlife health, ecosystem dynamics, and the interconnectedness championed by the One Health approach. Graduates will be capable of contributing meaningfully to conservation initiatives, responding to emerging health threats, and promoting sustainable coexistence between humans and wildlife.
