Bachelor of Equine Science

Where it will take you

Graduates of CSU's Bachelor of Equine Science have forged careers in complementary therapies, equine nutrition, pharmaceuticals, research and product development, government, sports administration and promotion, coaching, journalism, teaching secondary science and TAFE, as well as the more traditional areas of horse training and breeding management.

A recent survey of graduates from the Equine Science degree at CSU found that the largest proportion were working in education and research, closely followed by roles in equine training, stud management and their own equine services businesses. Smaller numbers were working in the horse nutrition field, racing industry and in government.

Not all graduates from the course work with horses, as the broad scientific education and life skills you will develop at CSU will prepare you for successful careers in a wide variety of fields.

The equine sector contributes billions of dollars to the Australian economy annually, so career and business pathways will continue to develop for those best equipped to capitalise on the opportunity.
