On our Equine Science degree you will study subjects including anatomy and physiology, rehabilitation, behaviour and training, industry and business, and issues around the welfare of sports and thoroughbred horses.

We run this course in partnership with Abingdon and Witney College. You'll be taught at Oxford Brookes throughout the degree except for two modules in Year 1 at the College’s small commercial thoroughbred stud based just outside of Witney to enable the link between theory and practice. 

We run an equitation society, where you can join and compete even if you do not have a horse.

On graduating, you will have an up-to-date understanding of scientific principles and management theories, as well as the skills to implement them, progressing into employment within the equine industry or into further education such as Masters degrees or PhDs. 

Possible career areas include:
  • Academic/research
  • Bloodstock/breeding
  • Marketing/business
  • Lecturing
  • Nutrition/health
  • Rehabilitation and physical therapies
  • Behaviour/training
