About the subject
On our Equine Science & Welfare and Equestrian Performance & Business Management degree courses – from undergraduate to postgraduate – we combine professional coaching at our BHS‑approved Equine Centre with an experienced and specialist teaching team, supported by cutting‑edge resources and facilities.
Students are encouraged and supported to undertake industry‑relevant research, presenting their findings at key conferences and events, alongside forging employer links, networking opportunities and further developing their graduate skills.
A specialist feature of our undergraduate equine provision is that we run a common first year across all programmes, meaning that you have time and flexibility to discover the right degree pathway for you.
