Course Description

We are pleased to confirm that Writtle University College and ARU (Anglia Ruskin University) are joining together. The merger will happen during the 23/24 academic year. Writtle’s full range of Higher and Further Education courses will continue to be delivered on site at the Writtle campus, enhanced by resources available at nearby ARU. If you are starting your course in September 2024, your degree will be awarded by ARU.

The CertHE Equine Studies is a one year full time course. The course will provide students with the opportunity to develop practical management techniques and provide a framework to support students with their personal development.

This would mean that, provided you pass the year successfully, you could continue onto the second year of your chosen award progressing to DipHE level study, and ultimately you could progress onto the 3rd year and gain the full BSc (Hons) award in either Equine Performance and Business Management, Equine Behavioural Science or Equine Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation.
