On this programme there is an emphasis on science, business and marketing. The equine industry continues to develop and therefore the need for employees with appropriate technical knowledge and skills continues to evolve.
The programme will provide students with the opportunity to develop the specific knowledge, practical and technical skills fundamental to working in the equine industry.

Tuition Fee
GBP 14,000 / yearIf you want to apply for a full time BSc Degree, Foundation Degree or HND course, you need to submit your application via UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) on the UCAS website.
You can ask your teacher or careers adviser to help if you’re at school or college. If you’re not at school or college but are based in the UK, you can apply online independently. You will need to pay the correct fee and supply the name of the academic reference (who will be contacted directly by UCAS) and then submit your application. The UCAS website provides full instructions on the application process and also has a comprehensive guide called ‘Applying Online’.
For international applicants from outside the UK (within the EU and worldwide), you should also apply online independently unless your school or college is registered with UCAS. Again, you are responsible for paying the correct fees, obtaining and attaching the academic reference and submitting the completed application to UCAS. Further help and advice is available from British Council offices.
