Course Overview

The courses have been designed to meet the growing number of equestrian professions that require a high level of theoretical knowledge, and strong research skills.

What you'll study

This suite of courses is unique in the UK. The courses focus on the recent advances in equine health and disease, sports horse nutrition, behaviour, ethics, exercise physiology, equitation science, and genetics in the context of enhancing equine performance, health, and welfare.

You'll study the current issues and insights at the forefront of equine performance, health and welfare, and the philosophical, ethical, and legal issues related to these. You'll gain an insight into the latest scientific research findings, and critically examine these in a practical context. The research project enables you to undertake and develop your own research interests with the support of experienced supervisors.

The MRes courses offer you the chance to develop even further your understanding of equine research and specialise within the fields of either performance or health and welfare. In these courses, you'll enhance your research expertise, enabling you to analyse and report findings to a high scientific standard and communicate them to a wide range of audiences.
