The aim of the programme is to provide scientific knowledge relating to aspects of equine science that include the following: management of health and welfare, reproduction, behaviour, nutrition and exercise in the horse. The programme demonstrates how a scientific approach can be applied at a practical level with resultant benefits in equine performance and welfare.

Staff at the R(D)SVS have made major contributions to the development of new methods of diagnosis of equine diseases, and include internationally recognised authorities on equine respiratory diseases, lameness, reproductive disorders, behaviour and nutrition.

Students attending this course will gain:

* an increased understanding and awareness of the application of scientific principles to the study of equine science;
* the ability to apply this knowledge both in research and in a practical context;
* the ability to utilise effective and modern methods for describing and analysing scientific data;
* the knowledge to be able to engage in philosophical debate relating to the use of horses.
