This three-year, full-time degree brings together viticulture, oenology and business management for people aiming at a career in wine. Its structure is paced by the UK wine year, and it was developed with industry experts to match the national competency framework for UK wine.
In the first year students take modules in vineyard management, wine science with sensory analysis, an introduction to business, and practical and academic skills. From the second year they can lean toward either a business pathway or a viticulture and oenology pathway, choosing among options including analysis of wine and its production, marketing and content creation, entrepreneurship, and advanced study of vines and of wine-making. The final year includes both a work placement and a dissertation based on research.
Practical experience takes place in commercial vineyards, a winery and laboratories at the college, alongside study of wine finance, marketing, ethical selling and supply chains. Graduates look toward roles in wine finance, wine consultancy, selling and trading wine, vineyard management and making wine.
