UCAS Code: D403Institution Code: DUCHY D55 Campus: The Eden Project. FdSc Horticulture has been specifically designed to meet clearly identified skills gaps required to support and develop the UK horticultural industry across all commercial sectors. The programme of study allows students to explore aspects of horticultural science, commercial horticulture and garden and landscape design. The study programme and student experience are greatly enhanced through the collaboration between Duchy College and the Eden Project. The mixture of resources including Eden's plant collections, growing environments, nursery and new dedicated teaching facilities coupled with the nationally renowned micro-propagation research facility of Duchy College Rosewarne, provide a world class platform from which this exciting and stimulating programme will be delivered. Learners embarking on this programme will become integrated within Eden Project and, in addition to attending the carefully designed taught modules, will have the opportunity to apply and develop a wide range of practical skills by participating in activities in the tropical and Mediterranean biomes, the outdoor garden and nursery crop production facility. As well as benefiting from working alongside Eden's skilled and specialist horticulturalists learners also undertake a work placement within another commercial enterprise.
