Subject Description

The objective of this subject is to broaden students' perspective of equine management systems through independent study of other equine, agricultural and cultural issues.

Students undertake an approved course of study that enhances and broadens their skills perspectives. The studies should enhance students' ability to approach management decisions more laterally and innovatively. Topics of study may be subjects from within the Institute with content not substantially covered by subjects within the horse management course; or subjects from other educational institutions where the student can justify that the subject meets the objectives; or other courses or activities, arranged by the student and approved by the coordinator. Content should equal the expectations of typical subjects within this course.

Assessment

Internal and external students: assessments as required by studies chosen, accompanied by an 800 word (approx.) report summarising the module chosen (Category 1 = 50%; Category 2 = 50%, Category 3 = 4 x 12.5%).
