About this course
This course is ideally suited if you want to progress into a career in the land-based industry with a specific focus on balancing agricultural production and management systems with landscape management in line with potential future environmental policies.
Rural land management is changing, with the removal of the Basic Payment Scheme and a heightened focus on the environment, the pressure is on land owners to evolve with a particular focus on sustainability. In a changing landscape, there is a real need for qualified professionals with a specialism in agricultural land management who can provide robust advice to land owners to help them to diversify, but also increase production in a way which compliments biodiversity and conservation.
This course is designed to bring together knowledge about rural land management, considering ecology, biodiversity and the environment alongside. A Strong and diverse range of topics and integrated work experience ensure that graduates are well equipped to progress into careers such as rural land management and farm advice.
