Countryside Management (+ Foundation year)

About this course

Countryside management is the practical and professional discipline concerned with conserving, managing and developing rural landscapes and the natural environments they contain. It encompasses the management of wildlife habitats, farmland, woodlands and estates, as well as the access, recreation and tourism dimensions of the countryside. Practitioners work at the intersection of ecology, land use, community needs and regulation, making decisions that balance conservation priorities with economic realities and the expectations of diverse stakeholders. At Harper Adams University this four-year programme includes a foundation year, providing a route into undergraduate study for students who need to build the academic skills, confidence and resilience required for higher education before progressing to the main degree. Harper Adams is a specialist land-based university with deep connection
