The equine industry generates huge amounts of revenue for some of the world’s major economies and is the second largest economy in the rural sector. The industry is continually looking for bright, skilled graduates. As well as benefitting from a blend of practical exercises and academic knowledge, you will gain essential experience with a work placement. You will also tap into our powerful network of industry contacts, including graduates from the University. During your first year students will study a blend of equine science and business modules. Then in the second year you can choose whether you decide to focus on equine science and business, agriculture or go down a bloodstock and performance horse management route by choosing one of the three study streams.There will be plentiful industry visits and industry leading guest speakers allowing you to learn from the best there is. Should you decide to follow the Bloodstock and performance horse management route there will also be a study tour to Ireland to explore the Irish bloodstock industry as a comparison to the UK. This route will incur an additional course supplement of £600 to cover the cost of the tour.No wonder our graduates have gone on to work at prestigious companies such as Plusvital Equinome, Haygain, Tattersalls and The National Trainers Federation.
