Equine Studies CertHE

This award is aimed at those individuals who wish to develop their interest in the equine with a robust grounding in scientific<br/>principles pertaining to the day-to-day management of horses. The equine is a complex creature, with supporting needs that<br/>address the way in which the animal is managed to maximise health, welfare and discipline-specific performance, when<br/>required, in a range of very diverse environments.<br/><br/>This programme aims to provide you with a thorough understanding of management requirements, covering health, first aid,<br/>nutrition, stable management, tack fit and farriery as well as anatomy and physiology. Developing a scientific understanding,<br/>combined with the ability to apply that knowledge practically, will enable you to take a proactive role in the industry following<br/>graduation. ARU Writtles approach of ‘science into practice’ is very evident throughout this programme.<br/><br/>If you study the Cert HE initially, youll take five core modules then follow one of five pathways.
