The programme is intended for those who wish to follow a career in equine or land based industries. The Course This one year course builds on the work undertaken in the School's HND in Equine Studies with Estate Studies. The equine aspects are developed by modules in Equine Nutrition and Parasitology and Equine Behaviour and Sports Medicine. The estate studies part of the course is developed in modules in Equine Property Management and Land Resource Evaluation. In addition to these modules, students complete a major individual research project on a theme related to equine or estate studies.
Practical work is an important part of the course.
This is enhanced by having access not only to the laboratories at the University College, but also to the Moulton College grounds that include over 400 hectares of farmland, gardens, conservation sites, parkland and sports fields. Admissions Advice Entry requirements are an HND Equine Studies with Estate Studies from University College Northampton or an HND in Equine Studies or Equine Science from another institution provided that applicants can demonstrate an appropriate background in estate studies.
