This Equine Science programme explores a range of science disciplines to provide an in-depth specialist understanding of the horse through study of the applied scientific principles and practice of horse management. This programme seeks to provide a stimulating and challenging experience for students wishing to gain scientific knowledge alongside valuable practical experience in order to promote the health, welfare and performance of the equine athlete. The programme contains a breadth of highly relevant scientific modules of the horse, including anatomy, exercise physiology, reproduction and behaviour ensuring a sound underpinning of knowledge for progression into applied settings. Students progress to study final year modules in either nutrition or biomechanics. This elective option provides opportunity to tailor to the student’s own interest and career aspirations. Studying contemporary issues ensures the most current industry developments and updates are thoroughly explored and evaluated to further prepare the student for graduate destinations. Scientific content is studied across each level, with contextualisation to the horse to aid in the understanding and interest during exploration of technical concepts. Science modules take full advantage of the excellent laboratory resources in order to prepare students in technical skills across histology, haematology, nutritional analysis, microbiology and molecular biology disciplines. The programme is designed to develop the student’s ability to investigate and analyse information, in turn problem solving and making independent judgements. The inclusion of enterprise and entrepreneurship ensures students are effectively prepared for managing their own business or working within management roles of companies, with strong appreciation of transferable skills developed. The applied nature of many equine modules ensures students are equipped with equine husbandry and managements skills needed for a variety of roles within industry. Graduates will be equipped with a range of scientific knowledge and skills that will allow them to enter a wide variety of scientific and technological based careers both within the equine industry and wider areas, in a national and international context.
