Equine Studies (Top-up)

Structure

You’ll study two cores modules, and complete a dissertation based on a research area of your own interest. This is a chance to study a particular subject in depth which may also be of direct relevance to your particular career aspirations.

You’ll then select four elective modules to further specialisation in specific sector. Those with a science-based background are able to study modules of applied science, to include such subjects as equine nutrition and equine genetics, whilst those with a business management focus can take modules which emphasise business skills, such as understanding the consumer and efficient marketing of products and services.

The course will be delivered through a series of lectures, seminars, group projects, visits, and laboratory demonstrations. Modules are assessed through a range of techniques, including research projects, examinations, presentations, and case studies.
