Further Education
Land and Animal Management
The Division of Land and Animal Management is one of the largest of the divisions; and as such it continues the long and 
honourable history of land based subject study and skills training at the Newton Rigg campus.
As well as traditional subjects like Agriculture| and Horticulture|, the division also includes Animal Care|, Equine|, as well as Forestry and Woodland Management| sections. The division also houses the Northern School of Game and Wildlife| with a national reputation for gamekeeping|and related courses.
Nearly all subjects have a wide range of levels and 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.
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.
