Course aim

The postgraduate level Land Management programme integrates new scientific understanding of environmental processes with relevant engineering and management skills. These skills are then used to develop new, integrated land management solutions at relevant scales including field, city, catchment, national and global.

Students select one of the four specialised options:

These provide direct training in a range of skills such as geographical information management, project management, environmental impact assessment, and critical analysis, which can aid the planning and implementation of land management projects. Graduates from this programme are highly sought after by government agencies, businesses, consultancies, and non-government organisations (NGOs).

"In terms of the course it was fantastic. It was one of the hardest, yet most rewarding experiences I have had so far, and I am in no doubt that the skills and knowledge that it has provided me with have been directly responsible for me securing my current job. The friends I made there, both students and staff, will be links to all aspects of the industry for life, and the support of colleagues was unfaltering".
