What our graduates say
“After attending an Open Day at the Brackenhurst campus, I decided that joining Nottingham Trent University studying Equine Sports Science was the best way forward to continue my education in Equine Science, building on the A-Levels and National Certificates I undertook at college.

“For me it was very important that I attended an Open Day before deciding on the degree course I chose. From attending the Open Day I got a real feel for the practicals and modules included on the course.

“The course has really helped me gain confidence in my own ability to achieve goals. My time at Brackenhurst has improved my organisation skills, time management and helped me gain an overall higher knowledge of the equine industry.

“I fully believe Equine Sports Science was the right course for me. Since I have been at Nottingham Trent University I have felt so welcome and a part of a great community. I really did love my course!”
