Course Details - Modules

Year 1 of the course provides the underpinning knowledge for working with horses in a therapy based industry. Modules include Anatomy and Physiology; Horse Health and Welfare; and Introduction to Equine Therapies. Students will also gain hands-on experience working with horses on the College’s Equine Yard in the Practical Horsemanship module. Year 2 students then study more specialised modules based around equine therapies, including Equine Exercise Physiology; Equine Behaviour; and Practical Rehabilitation Skills. After completion of the course students are eligible to ‘top-up’ to a full BSc by studying for a further year, where they continue with further specialised modules and undertake a large research project on their own area of interest.
