Graduates go out into work in a range of occupations including equine nutrition (sales/research), yard manager, events, and rehabilitation centres.

For one week during each semester a student centred study week is hosted which enables students to access complementary courses and activities at subsidised rates, which look fabulous on C.V.s

A number of educational trips are run but these are dependent on which modules you choose to enrol on during the two years.

Students should aim to arrive with safety standard hat and body protector, appropriate yard boots and attire, and a laboratory coat.

Potential students are advised to think about sourcing work placements before they enrol on the programme.

**Price is per 10 credits. Part time students would normally complete between 10 and 80 credits per year, depending upon individual circumstances.
