Courses

Working in the broad sector of "the environment" requires focussed skills and knowledge, and SAC has a strong reputation and tradition in developing courses that blend the academic with the practical.

Countryside Management provides the opportunity to work towards a career which focusses on responsibly managing the countryside in a sustainable way. The courses deal not only with the principles of conservation and ecology, but also with the interactions between the countryside and the people using it.

If you want to work for the protection and benefit of the environment our Environmental Protection and Sustainable Environmental Management courses are the right ones for you.

If you want to leave you career options open, Rural Resource Management blends applied geography, environmental science, agricultural science and business studies, and is designed to equip you for a range of careers such as in rural planning and development or with conservation organisations.

SAC's Countryside and Environmental Management and Environmental Management and Sustainability HN courses offer a broad-ranging introduction to this area and provide seamless progression, for those who want to take their studies further, into the degree courses.

Details on how to get on to a course can be found in each course's 'Awards Available' information.

Finally, SAC's newest course in this area, Sustainable Building Design, reflects the growing interest in the environmental impact of new, refurbished and converted buildings.
