Course Overview

This course reflects the growing awareness of the need to develop a greater understanding of equine behaviour. The course will help you build the fundamental knowledge of behaviour and physiology – as well as the laboratory skills – needed to optimize the welfare of horses in our care, allowing them to thrive and perform as required in the industry.

  • You'll be based at our Brackenhurst Campus where you'll benefit from our extensive Equestrian Centre. Throughout the course, you'll use the centre to gain the practical and research skills needed for careers in the equine industry.
  • You'll benefit from regular lectures and demonstrations from equine industry guest speakers and professionals.
  • You'll get the opportunity to take part in field trips to a range of equestrian and research establishments.
  • We also have an optional international equine management module which runs as a ten-day field course in Switzerland based at the Swiss National Stud. The field course covers the anatomical and physiological basis of equine reproduction and evaluates the variation of worldwide management practices, due to sport and local environmental factors both in a general and breeding related context.
