Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Countryside Management] From Harper Adams University

The importance of sustainable countryside management is increasingly being recognised by both government policy and by potential understanding of the countryside and the pressures that both wildlife and the environment are facing. The main emphasis is to balance the often competing needs of the countryside with those of recreational visitors and, importantly, to understand the current issues associated with conservation, agricultural land use and policy.

Key features include:

• Residential field trips in years 1 and 4 to underpin and contextualise what you learn.
• Field trips and visits to local and national organisations to provide real life experience and to meet professionals in their field of work.
• An emphasis on developing your business and people skills in the rural sector.
• A focus on the practical application of theory to give you the skills to succeed.
