Emily MacGregor, BSc (Hons) Equine Science and Management
Emily chose to study this course because from a young age she had a passion for the equestrian world, not just the riding aspect but horses as an animal
"As I progressed with my riding I started to question how horses see, think and do This course allows me to explore these questions further and to expand upon my knowledge of equestrian as a sport, horses as animals and also as a business Upon completion of Year 1 and 2 (HNC/ HND) I am looking forward to delving deeper into the business side of the industry which is where my passion for horses has sparked an interest in turning it into a career."
"My favourite module so far is Equine Nutrition I always want to make sure my horses are well and healthy and to do this you work from the inside out Upon completion of my degree I would like to work within an equestrian sales team, nutritionist or equine physiotherapist travelling nationally and internationally meeting and building a clientele and most importantly getting to work with different horses day in day out! The big dream for me is to have my own competition/sales yard but we will need to wait upon that winning lottery ticket to kickstart that business idea!"
"The facilities at SRUC Oatridge are really good! They suit the needs of all students across all courses Not to forget the location of the campus where you can walk round some beautiful routes when you need a break from studying "
"My advice to prospective students is to take every opportunity you can when on campus! There is so much to learn and get involved with outside college hours which can really benefit you in further career aspirations and give you a step up from competition If you are ever struggling or have a question, just speak to your tutors as they are always happy to help Remember no question is a silly question and if you are thinking it, it’s almost a guarantee someone else is as well "
