    Hi guys, I was just wondering what are your thoughts on this course? I'm very interested in doing this course it sounds fansastic but torn between going for the equine science in UL. I've heard that people that did this course get jobs slightly easier because they have a lot of hands on experience where as Ul students don't have as much hands on experience but higher qualifications? Also what are the job opportunities after this course? And can you move on to a higher course after this one? :)

    :)

    Hi Emma, I'm currently in the second year of this course after doing PLC two years ago at Kildalton college. This course is very hands on in the first year with you staying at gurteen college for first year. lots of riding and stable work including very early 7.30 am starts to muck out horses. second year is where your based up in athlone and is a total different ball game. its all business and science this year. You really need to look what you want to do after college, whether you want to be working in a stable ( no money in equine jobs in stables) or whether you want to do more the science option of horses. For me I regretted not doing the course in UL. I'm changing course after second year because I believe I'm getting nothing really out of this course. so from me, I would recommend UL, the chances to get amazing work experience with that uni is unbelievable. best of luck in the leaving cert
