BSHEESSX - BSc (Hons) Equestrian Sports Science - Programme Specification

This programme specification contains details on the learning outcomes and teaching assessment strategies on the BSc (Hons) Equestrian Sports Science with Integrated Placement Year and BSc (Hons) Equestrian Sports Science awards.

Graduates from the BSc (Hons) Equestrian Sports Science programme will have gained a thorough knowledge of multidisciplinary areas of sports science and will be able to apply this specifically in an equestrian context. From this programme, students will be able to not only apply their knowledge to the horse and rider, but also to wider sporting disciplines and will be able to progress to careers in both equestrian sports and general sporting sectors.

Students will have been required to pass core modules that contain information on human and equine anatomy and exercise physiology, nutrition, and research methods. Students will have also completed an independent scientific investigation. In addition to these core subject areas, equestrian sports science students will have undertaken modules that specifically investigate equestrian sport and the development of research on both the horse-rider and equine athletes which is unique to this programme. Optional modules include a variety of multidisciplinary subject areas such as equitation science, fitness and conditioning, human and equine therapy, and sports psychology.
