You are here Learning: New MSc/MRes in Rural Development at Plymouth
The University of Plymouth is launching a new MSc/MRes in Rural Development. The course is due to start in September 2006. The new full-time programme builds on ten-years of experience at the university with part-time Masters courses including Rural Development, Rural Tourism, and Agricultural Business Management.
The new programme is a 12-month full-time course, intended for a combination of recent graduates, and mid-career professionals looking for further academic development.
The programme aims to develop an understanding of rural development as a process which integrates activities relating to the economy, environment, society and culture in balancing the needs of people and planet. While having a strong theoretical grounding, the course is geared to developing abilities to engage directly with rural development issues. It will cater for a mixture of students from the UK, Europe and other world regions, with an emphasis on transfer of ideas and practices between people from different cultures.
