How the Course Works
Throughout the six months, students rotate through different areas of the Irish National Stud, gaining practical experience across the breeding season while developing their knowledge through lectures, demonstrations, industry visits and assessments.
The programme combines hands-on stud work, classroom learning, continuous assessment, practical demonstrations, projects and final examinations.
Students work alongside experienced stud staff, veterinarians and industry professionals, while also learning from guest speakers and visiting leading thoroughbred operations throughout Ireland.
By the end of the programme, students leave with a much broader understanding of the breeding, management and commercial aspects of the international thoroughbred industry, as well as practical experience and industry connections that can support the next stage of their career.
