ObjectivesThrough a combination of pure business modules developed by the well-respected Bristol Business School and equine business specific modules, this programme has been designed to develop your understanding of the equine industry. The MA will also help you identify career opportunities available within the industry from a business management perspective. Throughout the programme we discuss the role of equestrianism as a sport, analyse the structure of equine industries, both nationally and internationally, and debate topical issues relating to the strategic development of the equine industry. As a postgraduate student of Equine Business Management, you will be assigned a personal academic tutor who is there to provide you with advice and support during your time at Hartpury. Module weekends in postgraduate study skills are also available at various points throughout the year.
