Countryside

One of our students, Philip Bolam, working in ConservationOur countryside degrees attempt to provide students with the skills, knowledge and insights that will enable them to succeed in a wide range of careers. There are many opportunities open to you after you graduate. You might work for:

  • a conservation agency
  • a local authority responsible for policy and planning
  • a private company involved in managing land and developing rural areas
  • an organization involved in rural land use - such as the RSPB, the Forestry Commission or the Countryside Agency

Other students will find jobs in general management or in professions such as chartered surveying, law, teaching, tourism management, accountancy or town planning.

Our graduates have gone on to work for a wide range of companies and organizations - such as the Environment Agency, the National Farmers Union, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Snowdonia National Park Authority. This is because all employers value the range of skills you've gained.

You can also find helpful sites for advice on jobs in the area of countryside and environmental science.
