About this course

Rural land management is the discipline concerned with how countryside estates, farms, and rural properties are valued, managed, and developed. It sits at the intersection of business, law, economics, planning, and environmental science, and its practitioners advise landowners, farmers, conservation bodies, and public agencies on the use, development, and stewardship of land in rural settings. With pressures from climate change, biodiversity loss, changing agricultural policy, and rural development needs all converging, the skills of the rural land manager are in demand across a wide range of organisations. At the Royal Agricultural University this four-year programme includes a foundation year, providing a thorough grounding in the principles and contexts of rural business and land management before the main degree begins. You will study property law, rural economics, farm business man
