MSc Equine Science

Hartpury College

University of West of England

The postgraduate programme in Equine Science consists of taught modules delivered via weekend study blocks. Each module offers a coherent, structured insight into an area of equine performance and, on completion, you are awarded a number of credit points (10, 20 or 60), which you can use to gain a postgraduate award. If you accumulate 60 credits you will be eligible for a Postgraduate Certificate*, 120 credits gains you a Postgraduate Diploma in Equine Science and 180 credits is a Master’s degree in Equine Science. Alternatively, an area could simply be studied out of interest with no formal assessment.

As a postgraduate student of Equine Science, you will have a personal academic tutor to support you in formulating a combination of modules and experiences each year to meet your individual goals and interests. Attendance at our study skills module weekends are also encouraged during the induction period.
The friendly, supportive and personal atmosphere here at Hartpury and the flexible modular programme combines to offer a challenging but enjoyable form of postgraduate study.

The programme covers areas including:

• Measuring and Improving Athletic Performance of the Horse and Rider

We now offer postgraduate certificates that can be awarded following specific combinations of modules:

• Postgraduate Certificate in Equestrian Performance and Rehabilitation
