Equine Training & Management Foundation Degree

This is a University of Greenwich programme.

Enabling students to gain a solid understanding of the equine industry in a vocational way, this programme is divided between the classroom, practical sessions, visits and lecture demonstrations. You will be given the necessary management skills for a career within the equine industry and, by the end of the programme, be particularly suited to work in the competition horse industry as either a coach, trainer, rider, stable manager, centre manager or events co-ordinator. This programme can be structured to your individual experiences. On our HE courses, you will benefit from the wide breadth and experience of our expert lecturing team and the exciting and highly-varied facilities and resources. Teaching methods will vary from unit to unit, but typically any day of lectures will contain a mixture of theoretical content delivered in one of our well-equipped lecture rooms interspersed with visits to the yards to practice and cement learning. Our assessment activities are designed to mimic real-life scenarios and as such include tasks designed to develop a skill set suited to 21st century professions in addition to academic knowledge and aptitude. These range from traditional written work and exams to presentations and practical demonstrations with the involvement of industry specialists.
