Equine Science

About this course

Equine science applies the methods and principles of biology, physiology, anatomy and applied science to the understanding of the horse. It is a discipline that takes seriously both the scientific and the practical dimensions of working with one of the most important animals in human history, asking how the horse's body functions at rest and under the demands of training and competition, and how that understanding can be used to optimise health, welfare and performance. It draws on exercise physiology, biomechanics, nutrition, veterinary science and equine behaviour, and it develops graduates who can work at the intersection of science and professional equine practice. This three-year full-time degree at Hartpury University includes a sandwich year with a work placement, giving you professional equine industry experience alongside your academic studies.
