Course Overview

The foundation year entry provides an alternative route into degree-level study. It’s ideal for those who need to gain subject-specific knowledge and skills in order to progress with the full BSc qualification.

During your degree, you’ll develop your understanding of contemporary ethical approaches to horse training and management based on the most up-to-date scientific research, applying theory to practice in real-world settings including our commercial equine yard that’s home to 230 horses and riders of all levels.

We’ll support you to adopt an innovative and scientific mindset, building both specialist and transferable skills to help you stand out when you graduate. Alongside developing equine-specific expertise, you’ll refine entrepreneurial and leadership skills. Work placements will enable you to build a successful career while improving the wider industry.

Graduate opportunities are diverse and could include working for equine charities and welfare organizations or with individuals to improve horse-rider relationships. Graduates of this course will play a vital role in the education and implementation of best practices.
