FDSc Equine Studies
This two-year vocational qualification is perfect for anyone wishing to gain a valuable qualification and experience in the equine industry. The equine centre at Aber is a designated BHS "Where to Train" centre and this means the riding you undertake as part of the FdSc course is based on BHS exam system, preparing you for your BHS stages if you wish to train towards them. The FdSc Equine Studies course includes practical instruction of the care and daily management of the horse and has a strong industry and business flavour. A number of science modules will ease you into BSc equine courses if you wish to progress on successful graduation.
Successful completion of this foundation degree will provide you with the opportunity to progress to a BSc honours degree in an animal / equine-related subject, should you wish to do so (subject to grades).
