There are around 70 horses on campus, and you’re able to bring your own horse to university too: find out more about our DIY Livery Yard. Our course team includes industry-experienced staff and practitioners in equine rehabilitation, behaviour, nutrition and breeding, as well as competition riders and UKCC coaches. We also work with the International Association of Animal Behaviour Consultants (IAABC) to bring you specialist tuition from renowned equine behavioural scientists. When you graduate, you’ll be able to apply for professional membership of the IAABC and receive ongoing support throughout your career. There are a number of ways to study this course. As well as our 3-year full-time degree (6 years part-time), you have the option of studying over:
