Course content

This one-year full-time course is available at stage three only. It builds on the Foundation Degree in Equine Management but would also be appropriate for students wishing to top-up their HND qualification to degree stage. The course develops a more detailed understanding and practical competence in business, event and horse management.

The theoretical content of the course focuses on equine management, including topics such as nutrition, behaviour and event management.
