This course offers proven routes to rewarding careers within rural business, estate management, consultancy and property in the countryside. Strutt and Parker, Dalcour Maclaren, Savills and Fisher German are some of the nationally recognised businesses our graduates have gone on to work for – and so could you.

Accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) , you will learn the fundamentals of rural professional practice as well as planning and development, law, valuation, building construction and management.

You will develop an essential understanding of sustainability and wider business management to enable you to provide effective advice about farm, estate and other rural businesses while gaining an overall understanding of the multi-functionality of rural practice.

This degree is the ideal launch pad into the world of rural land management, or other sectors, depending on your career aspirations. You can gain some additional real-world experience and carve your first steps into your future career through the work placement.

Typically, graduates enter employment in rural practice surveying to undertake the two-year Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) and qualify as Chartered Surveyors.

Many graduates also seek qualification as Fellows of the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers (CAAV) at the same time as completing the APC. During your time here, you can enjoy the benefits of a student membership of both RICS and CAAV.

You will complete a period of work experience as an assessed part of your course. Our Careers Team run a careers fair each year, providing you with an opportunity to meet with potential employers. There is also an option of a full placement year.

You will learn through a series of lectures, seminars, group tutorials, practical sessions and visits to local farms, commercial properties and rural estates.
