Extended Diploma or Degree??

[Jinx94]

Probably should've posted this before my personal statement one but ah well..

I had my interview to do the extended diploma last week and have been guaranteed a place on the course, however, the college are very keen for me to apply to one of their degree programs instead ("WHY would you even WANT to do the ED? ")

I know that I'll probably end up working as a groom to start with when I finish my degree, but I don't have a horsey family and was kept so out of the loop with everything when I helped out at a RS (just tacked up, groomed, did waters, turned out..) that I just don't feel that I have the skills to get me the job

I know that whichever course I choose, I'll be doing my BHS qualifications alongside it, would I learn sufficient from these? or would I be better off doing a course?

Thanks x

Hi again!

Basically I would just look at both courses - see what modules they have, how long each would take (I take it as 2yrs for ED and 3 for the degree,) whether you would prefer more hands on with the horses and general care or if you would prefer a science background and then decide which you're more excited about and what you think would be best for you personally

Good luck with whatever you choose!

I personally would go with a degree.

But it's totally up to you, whichever grabs your attention more
ETA Haven't seen your other posts, depends what you want to do long term
