The On-line final year direct entry BSc (Hons) Degree in Turfgrass Science and Management is designed to enable students to achieve a full honours degree qualification in Turfgrass Science and Management through part-time study at a distance from the host educational establishment. High levels of employment within the sportsturf industry in management, research and consultancy levels mitigate against traditional modes of attendance for those currently employed and this qualification, linked with this form of delivery, will help to overcome this barrier to access and participation. The course covers high levels of technical knowledge in science, management, and technology across a range of sportsturf issues and applies current research to develop a strategic approach to the management of all sportsturf surface types. The course will develop a detailed knowledge and analytical thinking for sportsturf management issues such as planning and development of sportsturf constructions, contract management and management of sportsturf areas.
The course is focused on web-based learning material on the Myerscough College On-line learning network. On-line tutorials are an important element of the course, enabling students from a wide geographic area to gain an Honours Degree qualification without having to the College.
