ObjectivesOur Rural Property Management degree is one of the few programmes available in the UK which recognise the diverse skills and knowledge required by rural surveyors and property advisors. The programme acknowledges the growing importance of proactive management of the rural estate in order to meet the expectations of owners and to maxamise the potential of their assets. If you are interested in managing rural property, working with or on behalf of owners and occupiers of rural property, then this is the degree programme for you. It develops your understanding of real estate from a rural perspective, applying the skills and knowledge attained in Year 1 and 2 to the specifics of rural land management. You will develop areas of expertise which would enable you to work not only in the rural surveying profession, but also in the wider business, environmental and support sectors in the countryside.
Entry requirementsThere are different entry qualifications for each programme. Some programmes require you to have a certain amount of knowledge in a subject before you begin the degree programme – this is called a ‘subject requirement’. Other programmes do not have any specific subject requirements. All programmes will, however, expect you to have reached a certain standard in your education and will ask you to achieve certain grades in your examinations. Most programmes have a standard offer so that you know in advance what you are likely to need. Please note that even if you have the minimum entry qualifications, you are not necessarily guaranteed a place on the degree programme.
