Why did you choose Equine Science at UL? 🎓🏇
My lifelong interest in horses sparked my initial attraction to the Equine Science degree at the University of Limerick.
I was also aware of several people who had completed the course before me and had gone on to careers I would be very happy to pursue. Combined with my visit to the UL open day, where, coming from a small rural school, I was blown away by the campus. I could clearly picture myself being happy there from that point on!
The Equine Science degree gave me a deep understanding of horse care, breeding, and management, which provided a strong foundation for working in the racing industry.
