Module Leaders and Delivery Staff

Dr Anna Walker Module Leader Equitation Science Honours Project Applied Rider Performance

Anna graduated from the University of Bristol in 2005 with a BSc (Hons) in Equine Science During her undergraduate studies a keen interest in animal locomotion led to her research dissertation supervised by Dr GRColborne investigating the effects of velocity on work patterns in trotting greyhounds The opportunity then arose for continued study through a PhD at the Royal Veterinary College entitled lsquoBiomechanics of lameness in Quadrupedsrsquo under the supervision of Professor A Wilson and Dr-Ing T Pfau Her PhD involved two main areas of study

bull Part of a large DEFRA funded project investigating changes in locomotion parameters associated with lameness in dairy cattle The findings are to be utilised in the development of a quantitative automated early lameness detection system improving the welfare and economic concerns associated with lameness on dairy farms

bull Investigation of a novel method for kinematic gait analysis in horses The system that has been developed provides a means for studying multiple consecutive strides in field which in the future could provide a clinically applicable gait analysis tool

Following successful completion and defence of her PhD Anna went on to gain further skills through her appointment as a Lecturer in Equine at Moulton College This position involved the supervision of a PhD project investigating lsquoThe Use of the Aqua-treadmill in Equine Rehabilitation and Therapyrsquo The role also


involved completion of a teaching qualification (PGCE) and involved a new avenue of research into education and focussed on lsquoThe Effect of Group Size on Studentrsquo Motivation and Learningrsquo Further research supervision included multiple undergraduate research projects covering a variety of equine related topics from Behaviour and Stud books to Injury Prevalence in Eventing and the Efficacy of Thermography

4 Programme Details

41 Enhancement Activities

Whilst enrolled on the BSc (Hons) Applied Equitation Science you will have the opportunity to conduct hands-on practical work within the discipline You will be encouraged to pursue your own research ideas and be supported to explore the ldquowhat ifrsquosrdquo within the equestrian sphere You will have access to specialist equipment which can be used to assess evaluate modify and improve your own equitation practices whether in-hand ridden or otherwise

Due to the contact that your programme manager and the delivery team have you will be exposed to contemporary industry practice and quite possibly be asked to engage in industry required research or the production of practice guides For example the framework and initial content of the ISES Code of Conduct (wwwequitationsciencecomcode-of-conduct) was produced by graduates of the BSc (Hons) Applied Equitation Science programme

This programme focuses on the unique varied and exciting area of equitation science and is designed for those who wish to further their knowledge of equitation and horse welfare This course investigates aspects of equitation that have been taken for granted for many years applying theory to practice and making substantial use of real life scenarios and case studies Emphasis is placed on developing an understanding of training and equitation techniques alongside the application of existing and emerging technology to investigate both training methodologies and equipment used in horse and rider training

This programme will enable students to further develop existing knowledge and to share findings with the industry The knowledge gained will be applicable to horses and owners operating at leisure and competitive levels and across all disciplines The programme includes a substantial honours project enabling students to carry out a detailed investigation of an area of their choice within the equitation science discipline Where appropriate projects will also be supported by industry professionals and leading international equitation science practitioners Other areas covered in this programme include equitation science contemporary equine veterinary issues equine learning and psychology and both equine and rider performance

An important aspect of this degree is its applied nature All students are encouraged to seek relevant employment or placement during their studies ndash that is why the actual lsquoteachingrsquo timetable leaves you with some free time during the week But additionally many of the modules have practical and praxis elements such as practical experience visits to and from individuals and organisations in your area and simulations Throughout the programme students will have the opportunity to become involved in applied practice and applied research identified by the International Society for Equitation Science across all modules In addition there will be opportunities to continue the development of personal and professional skills and periods of work-related learning in industry are strongly encouraged and closely supported Work-related activities are embedded across the programme This means ensuring that there is a range of experiences which relate closely to employment and work such as visits visiting speakers practicals in simulated situations This ensures that students have a very rich environment in which to develop their skills and observe others working


42 Progression through the programme

If you have previously studied a FdSc awarded by Plymouth University eg FdSc Equitation Training and Behaviour your final Honours Degree classification will be calculated from the marks gained from the FdSc and the BSc (Hons) Applied Equitation Science programmes as below

10 from Level 4 ndash calculated from the highest achieved 80 credits Where modules are arranged in such a way that the 80 credits of lsquohighest module marksrsquo cannot be identified unequivocally the average for the best 70 credits and 90 credits will be calculated and the student given the best advantage

30 from Level 5 60 from Level 6

Graduates of the BSc (Hons) Applied Equitation Science (Top Up) programme may progress onto the MSc Equitation Science or exceptionally the Research Masters (Equitation Science) subject to academic performance

8 Student Feedback81 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

82 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

BSc (Hons) Applied Equitation Science Top Up (02 September 2015) Page 26


What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

83 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

84 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn



and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

86 Extenuating Circumstances

Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 12

Target student numbers per stage = 25

Maximum student numbers per stage = 25 (physical limitations ndash classroom size)

PS9 Progression Route(s)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS14 Work Based Related Learning

WBL is an essential element of Foundation Degrees and therefore needs to be detailed here However for all types of HE Programmes there should be an element of employability focus through at least Work Related Learning and therefore the following is applicable for all

Work-Based Learning (WBL) There is no formal requirement for a period of Work-Based Learning on the BSc (Hons) Equitation Top Up programme Work-Based Learning is not embedded within the BSc (Hons) Applied Equitation Science Top UP programme However all students enrolled on the programme are strongly encouraged to seek relevant employment alongside their programme of study The College takes no responsibility for sourcing or checkingapproving places of employment that are not a formal part of the programme of study It is made clear to students that no marks are apportioned to time spent in industry outside of the academic programme

Work-Related Learning (WRL) There is a strong focus placed upon the need for undergraduate Equitation Science students to fully appreciated work-related aspects of their chosen area of study The majority of modules therefore include at least one element of work related activity whether that takes place within the Collegersquos own Equestrian Centre or elsewhere within the locality region or nationally (and exceptionally internationally) The range of intended activities are listed below for the BSc (Hons) Applied Equitation Science Top Up programme
