University Centre Askham Bryan has an established equine centre with a strong relationship with the British Horse Society. It is a registered training and examination centre for horse care and riding and already runs a range of professional training for those who take part in equine sports.
What you will learn
The equine centre has expanded in recent years and now includes three indoor yards.
The FdSc Equine Science and Management degree programme will help you develop knowledge about the systems and structures of the horse and how the horse’s body responds to exercise, injury and rehabilitation. You will also learn about key business management skills, marketing and issues facing the equine industry today. Additionally, you will benefit from being able to develop your practical and horse husbandry skills within a British Horse Society approved training centre.
The equine industry continues to develop and therefore the need for employees with appropriate technical knowledge and skills continues to evolve. This programe is designed to give students the scientific, management and technical knowledge and skills essential to support employability in the equine industry and specifically to develop careers in equine management.
Assessment
Assessments will be designed to give students the opportunity of performing tasks that they would be asked to do in employment. There are a range of assessment methods used, including reports, case studies, presentations, Viva -Voce, continual assessments and exams. Typically each module involves two assessments.
Work Experience
This programme requires students to undertake 300 hours of work placement, with 150 completed each academic year. For the first academic year the work placement hours are completed within the licensed and BIAZA accredited Askham Bryan Wildlife and Conservation Park. This work placement is likely to involve some weekend work, as well as days within the half-term breaks.
