The Course
This new course is a development of our old HND/FdSc REALM course. As the popularity and entry requirements for the BSc REALM course have risen we have felt that those who have good qualifications, but who just miss meeting the BSc REALM standards, were poorly catered for. Now we can offer a BSc (Hons) Rural Property Management which is cognate with the rural pathway through the RICS Assessment of Technical Competency leading to TechRICS membership.
The new course in many respects mirrors the BSc REALM course but has its own specialisms in utility wayleave and easement negotiations and estate agency office practice.
The Placement
Placement will give you invaluable experience in your chosen area of work. It may be working for a large firm such as Humberts or Fisher German or a smaller local firm or on a traditional rural estate. Within these organisations, students from this course will often specialise in one area such as residential lettings, pipeline claims, telecommunications or building repair and maintenance supervision.
During placement most students will have the opportunity to register for RICS Assessment of Technical Competency (ATC). The ATC requires students to undertake structured work experience, training and assessment before qualifying for TechRICS membership. The placement year usually counts towards the structured work experience. Depending on the experience obtained, some students may be eligible for the final assessment for the ATC on graduation and others, a year after graduation.
The Future
This degree is ideal for those interested in residential estate agency and lettings, compulsory purchase and compensation claim work, wayleave negotiations, residential surveys and rural / commercial technical work.
Useful Facts
Students entering this course, who achieve a 60 per cent average in their first year, will be offered a direct transfer into the second year of the BSc REALM course (subject to the requirements of our RICS Partnership Agreement being met). There are also opportunities for those graduating with 2.1 degrees from BSc Rural Property Management to enrol on our RICS accredited MSc REALM course leading to the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) and full professional membership of the RICS (MRICS).
