Division of Land and Animal Management
The Division of Land and Animal Management is one of the largest of the divisions of the University's School of Further Education; and as such it continues the long and honourable history of land based subject study and skills training at the Newton Rigg campus.
These links give you just some of the wide range of options and course levels:
As well as Gamekeeping and traditional subjects like Agriculture| and Horticulture|, the division also includes Animal Care|, Equine|, as well as Forestry and Woodland Management| sections.
Most subjects have a range of types of study. Whether it is a work based Apprenticeship in Agriculture|, a part time course in professional Garden Design or a full time campus based National Diploma in Countryside Management| as a specialist alternative to ‘A’ levels – the Division of Land and Animal Management can offer specific vocational training or a ‘tailor made’ progression route which suits you.
All LAM students have fully integrated access to the University’s own two upland and lowland working farms and extensive woodlands. These also involve successful farm stewardship environmental schemes, alternative energy crop projects and professional game shoot and deer management. So along with a modern ‘Animal Academy’, dedicated equine facilities and superb gardens on the campus itself, LAM students and their dedicated specialist teaching staff have all the practical resources required to maintain their high standards.
