Overall aim of the scheme

The course aims to provide students with a broad vocational experience and in depth knowledge of some of the common aspects of equine management, industry and science. To produce graduates who are able to work in a range of fields relating to horse management, who can operate efficiently and safely in the commercial industry, are able to communicate and understand data and concepts, are able to utilise specific applied skills to address diverse biological or practical problems, and are able to direct their own research and learning. A compulsory 6 week work placement will take place between year 1 and 2 in order to furnish students with real industry experience.
