Environment, Conservation & Property Management

Why study environment, conservation and property management?

There is almost no space left on planet Earth. From development and agriculture to flooding and soil loss – our usable land and environment are being pushed past their limits.

Through our Environment, Conservation and Property Management courses, our students are fighting to restore the balance between land use and its impact. Whether it’s conserving vital habitats, shaping rural communities, or tackling climate change, you won’t just study land and planet here — you’ll help save it!

Our hands-on approach puts you at the centre of innovation—learning from research-active staff on our 494-hectare farm and exploring real-world challenges out in the field. From managing landscapes to restoring ecosystems and habitats, you’ll gain the skills and knowledge to make a real impact in a vital, fast-evolving sector. Explore our specialisms in Environment, Sustainability and Wildlife and Land and Property Management below.
