    Course Summary

    The Royal Agricultural University’s top-up BSc in Countryside Management is designed to prepare you for a rewarding career in environmental or landscape management, or to improve your career trajectory if you already work in the field. In addition to the practicalities of ecology and land use, you’ll learn about environmental protection and sustainability, business relations and countryside management techniques.

    You’ll learn in the classroom to be sure, but you’ll also engage in frequent field trips and site visits, exploring environmental management sites in the UK and abroad. Recent classes have visited Costa Rica, Namibia and more. This will help to bridge the gaps between your science and land management subjects, and give you a real sense for how land management works the world over.

    This program includes an optional work based research project. This is of particular interest to part time students, as it allows more of their studies to be completed at their place of business.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Learning & Teaching

    The Royal Agricultural University uses fairly standard teaching methods, with a heavy emphasis on ‘getting your hands dirty’ learning real world skills. You’ll attend the formal lectures, interactive seminars and skills workshops you’d expect from a modern university, but you’ll also spend a great deal of time in RAU laboratories and farms as well as local and international environmental organisations. You’ll also have the option of attending an Ecology Study Tour.

    Career Possiblities

    More than 93% of RAU’s graduates find suitable work (or enter into higher degree programs) within 6 months of successfully completing their degrees. Recent graduates have gone on to Master’s level programs at RAU and elsewhere, or have taken roles such as Agri-Environment Manager, Conservation Officer, Biodiversity Officer, Ecological Consultant, Ecological Surveyor, Archaeological Consultant, Estate Manager or Reserve Manager working with organisations like the National Trust, Historic England and The Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group.

    Entry Credit

    Successful completion will result in a 3 year BSc degree or degree top-up.

    Applicants must typically have earned a foundation degree, an HND award with merit or the international equivalent. The full list of qualifications which are accepted can be found here.

    All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to show proficiency in English by scoring well on an approved test. A good IELTS score would qualify, for example.
