Land-based Studies

Our land-based courses immerse you in the outdoors and prepare you for careers rooted in nature, sustainability and the rural economy. From agriculture and animal care to horticulture, countryside management, equine studies and emerging agri-tech, you’ll learn through hands-on experience in real working environments. 

Finding the spark that leads to something big

Full-time courses at our Kingston Maurward campus are A Level equivalent, and upon successful completion of a Level 3 course will allow students to apply for university, should they wish to do so. Courses at Kingston Maurward are mainly land-based, and students can study everything from Agriculture, Equine, and Animal Welfare, to Military Preparation, or Horticulture. The majority of the qualifications at our Kingston Maurward campus are diplomas, and students will study for three days per week at a level determined by their GCSE results.
