Overview

Equine Studies is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a one year foundation course, the year before an undergraduate degree begins.

Teaching in Animal Science covers policy and regulation alongside the science, because most graduate roles sit where the two meet.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
