Course summary

This comprehensive course covers all aspects of Equine Science to provide students with the key knowledge and skills to enter the equine science industry. During the final year there are three optional modules to choose one from, which will allow students to tailor this year to their specific interests. From exciting new developments in equine microbiology, nutrition and reproduction through to advances in biotechnology; if you aspire to a career in equine science, research or clinical practice, then our BSc (Hons) in Equine Science is the course for you. Offering a rich and varied syllabus that explores equine science from both clinical and welfare perspectives, the course facilitates the development of real world professional skills and knowledge essential to those wishing to work in a clinical or scientific context. Whilst focusing on equine systems, the modules taught are specially designed to deliver competence in transferable skills with relevance to a wide range of biological and animal science career paths. The Foundation phase of the course is integrated and is studied during the first two years of the course. You will study additional modules alongside core Level 4 course modules. During the first year, students will be supported to develop scientific knowledge of anatomy and physiology through the development of a learning toolkit portfolio. Students will also engage with applied learning that links their academic studies to professional practice. During the second year, students will be given individual supervision to enhance their independent learning skills as they progress through the course. This course is delivered by Warwickshire College and validated in partnership with Coventry University, and is regulated by the Office for Students (OfS).
