Countryside Management BSc / BSc Hons

What Will I Learn

The first two years are the HND Countryside Management, which gives you an introduction to the theory and principles. In your degree years, modules such as Managing Community Projects and Action for Biodiversity, will require you to put this knowledge to practical application.

How Will I Learn

Learning material is delivered in a number of ways, but field trips and visiting specialists play an important part. Residential field trips ensure you have the chance to experience a range of scenarios, and see how different solutions to problems work in practice.

Honours Projects

In your fourth year you will undertake your own research project in a subject which interests you, drawing together all that you have learnt on your course.

Topics covered are varied: recent Honours Projects have included an investigation of teacher training required to self-lead outdoor learning sessions in North-East Scotland primary schools, an investigation into the reintroduction of the Golden Eagle to Ireland, and an investigation into changes in amphibian habitat in Moray ponds.
