You will also gain knowledge of the industry through talks and visits. This course is perfect for those who are serious about a career in horticulture or want to build on their skills and industry awareness.

The course will be delivered at our campus in beautiful Saltaire one day per week, with additional personal study required through our virtual learning environment.
