Accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), this Masters programme will enable you to understand the economic, technological, legal and social concepts and principles that underlie the practice of management in the countryside. This course will help you to develop a critical awareness of current problems and new insights at the forefront of the discipline. You will be given the opportunity to develop originality in the application of knowledge through the exercise of initiative, sound judgement, and the ability to make decisions in complex and unpredictable situations. We welcome applications from recent university graduates from a wide range of disciplines, particularly graduates with a degree in agriculture, agricultural economics or management, rural resource management or science, land management, economics or geography.

Students taking this degree programme regularly find employment as trainee chartered surveyors with firms having a rural specialism or undertaking substantive rural work. Real Estate & Planning has long-standing and well-established links with a number of such firms through its existing undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. A number of the larger firms actively recruit from the University on a regular basis.
