Introduction to the Program
Learn how to combat the most complicated infectious conditions in small animals and become a sought-after professional in the veterinary sector”
There are many potentially infectious agents that threaten the health of pets day after day. The lack of prevention and hygiene from their owners degenerates, on numerous occasions, into high-risk situations not only for the affected animal, but also for the rest of the beings living around it. For example, it is difficult to ensure the food and health safety necessary to safeguard the welfare of a child living in the environment of a dog carrying an infectious disease. Additionally, climate change and the ability to move around the globe have led to the emergence of diseases in places where they did not exist before. Under these circumstances, the expert must master the latest advances in Infectious Diseases in Small Animals to respond to these challenges in an efficient way and ensure the health of humans and animals.
For this reason, TECH has created this Hybrid Master's Degree, which seamlessly covers the entire breadth of the casuistry of this field of veterinary medicine, updating the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of these pathologies based on the latest scientific evidence. Throughout the theoretical learning, the student will learn the new mechanisms of study and analysis of possible vectorial and bacterial diseases for the canine species, as well as the treatment of parasitic diseases in felines. Likewise, they will expand their skills in the approach to zoonoses, present in companion animals and potentially causing health problems in their owners.
All this theoretical phase will be taught in a 100% online mode, which will allow students to manage their own study time to achieve effective learning, adapting their schedules to their own personal or professional needs.
After successfully passing this didactic period, the student will have access to an on-site stay in a first level veterinary clinic where, surrounded by the best experts in infectious diseases, they will assimilate the tools that allow them to transfer to daily professional practice all the knowledge acquired in this program.
The cure of Hybrid Master's Degree requires a comprehensive knowledge of their treatment. Acquire it with this Hybrid Master's Degree and become a successful professional”
This Hybrid Master's Degree in Infectious Diseases in Small Animals contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market.The most important features include:
- Development of more than 100 clinical cases presented by veterinary professionals specialized in the treatment of infectious diseases in small animals
- The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
- Updated diagnostic methods for viral diseases in the canine patient
- Innovative techniques for the treatment of vector-borneand bacterial diseases
- Cutting-edge approaches to tropical pathologies in small animals
- All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
- Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection
- Furthermore, you will be able to carry out a clinical internship in one of the best veterinary centers
Stand out in your career as a veterinarian expert in Infectious Diseases thanks to this Hybrid Master's Degree, taught with the most cutting-edge academic methods”
In this proposal for a Professional Master's Degree, of a professional nature and hybrid learning modality,the program is aimed at updating veterinary professionals who work with small animals with infectious diseases. The contents are based on the latest scientific evidence, and oriented in a didactic way to integrate theoretical knowledge in veterinary practice, and the theoretical-practical elements will facilitate the updating of knowledge and will allow decision making in the management of the animal.
Thanks to its multimedia content elaborated with the latest educational technology, they will allow the veterinary professional to obtain a situated and contextual learning, that is to say, a simulated environment that will provide an immersive learning programmed to train in real situations. This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby they must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. This will be done with the help of an innovative system of interactive videos made by renowned experts.
This is a high-level academic program, revolutionary in the field of veterinary medicine, which will significantly enhance your growth in a booming professional market”
Seamlessly integrate your daily life with your studies thanks to the possibility of learning at your own pace"
Syllabus
The educational itinerary outlined by TECH for this Hybrid Master's Degree follows a logical and progressive order in the acquisition of knowledge. After an introduction to the different epidemiologies and diagnostic techniques related to the various bacterial and parasitic diseases, the student is soon immersed in the principles and generalities of the various clinical procedures. Once internalized, the planning foresees the learning of all infectious diseases and their respective treatments from an updated perspective.
You will have at your disposal a syllabus based on the latest developments in this sector and designed with the highest scientific rigor”

Hybrid Master’s Degree in Infectious Diseases in Small Animals
Infectious diseases are those caused by the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites into an animal's body. These diseases can be very common in small animals such as dogs and cats, and can have a serious impact on the health and well-being of our furry companions. Some of the most common infectious diseases in small animals include parvovirus, leptospirosis, Lyme disease, Giardia infection and canine dysentery.
Symptoms of these diseases can range from mild to severe, and may include fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea and respiratory problems. In some cases, infectious diseases can be fatal if not properly diagnosed and treated. Prevention and control of infectious diseases in small animals is essential to ensure their long-term health and well-being. This may include preventive measures such as vaccination, good hygiene and pest control. It is also important to conduct regular examinations with a veterinarian to detect any health problems before they develop into serious disease.
Specialize in the management of Infectious Diseases in Veterinary Medicine and complete a classroom-based internship.
At TECH Global University we have this Blended Hybrid Master's Degree designed for the development of skills and knowledge necessary to understand and treat infectious diseases in small animals, such as dogs and cats, is a graduate program that focuses on training professionals on the causes, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases affecting companion animals.
The program is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part is conducted online, through a distance learning system, and focuses on acquiring knowledge about the mechanisms of disease transmission, as well as best practices to control and prevent the spread of infectious diseases in animals. The practical part is carried out in face-to-face settings, where they will be able to apply the acquired knowledge.
