Understanding our natural and rural environments and the way in
which we impact upon them is critical for the future of the planet.
For many species, possibly even our own, that understanding could
be the difference between survival and extinction.
The School of Natural and Rural Systems Management offers programs
that enable our graduates to impact the international food and fibre
business, manage the natural environment and mould rural communities
for the future. The School focuses on biologically, economically
and socially sustainable approaches to management.
The School of Natural and Rural Systems Management has around
800 Student Load Units and teaches several thousand students at
some time or other over a range of programs across both Gatton and
St Lucia Campuses. The School also offers a number of programs via
distance education.
As one of four Schools of study in the Faculty of Natural Resources,
Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, the School is unique in that
it has no specialised facilities. Instead the School relies on its
extensive industry networks to provide the special areas in which
students can practise and develop their managerial skills.
