MHort has a team of horticultural experts actively working within the industry to provide support and tutoring to students. Roy explained: “Through them, I’ve learned new skills in project and resource management. I’ve developed a better understanding of business strategies and have a greater awareness of scientific, economic and social issues within the horticultural sector, on a global scale. This in-depth and up-to-date knowledge enables me to make more accurate and informed decisions. The study programme is flexible and the material ingeniously designed to encourage candidates to hone their skills.”
Roy continued: “The MHort programme has also taught me useful skills such as problem-solving and effective communication, providing an excellent link between practical horticulture and academic learning. This has prepared me for many of the challenges I may be presented with in a professional environment.”
MHort also connects candidates with a wide and established network of professional horticulturists. Roy explained: “This is fantastic. Networking allows horticulturists to share knowledge and experience, continuously evolving an understanding of horticulture and, making us more effective as professionals. Critically, it also provides horticulturists with up-to-date knowledge about training, legislation, biosecurity and best practice.”
