The College offers opportunity to study at level 3 (A level equivalent) for students who wish to develop a comprehensive understanding of animal and equine science in relation to equine management - encompassing practical techniques, academic knowledge and technical skills. It is a popular option for both school leavers and successful Level 2 Diploma students. This course offers students either a direct route into industry in a practical setting or a valid route into higher education with the opportunity to achieve a maximum of 360 UCAS points on completion with a distinction profile. The course incorporates a mix of practicals, classroom lectures, industry visits and case study exercises.

This route is practically demanding and we require students to be riding at BHS Stage 2 level for entry which would be assessed and discussed at the formal interview stage.
