Bachelor of Natural Resources Management
Study how land, water, vegetation and wildlife resources support livelihoods and how competing uses are assessed.
About the course
Study how land, water, vegetation and wildlife resources support livelihoods and how competing uses are assessed. The proposed outline connects ecological knowledge with governance and evidence from communal, commercial and protected landscapes in Southern Africa. You will examine conservation decisions alongside access, livelihoods and the responsibilities of resource users.
What you'll learn
Explain ecological relationships within a selected resource system.
Interpret field observations and resource-use data with stated limitations.
Compare conservation options and their effects on different users.
Prepare a justified resource-management proposal with monitoring indicators.
Requirements
Recommended preparation includes mathematics, the relevant natural sciences, academic English and computer literacy. BMIT must confirm the approved admission route, any bridging study and recognition of prior learning. Source institutions retain their own admission rules. This outline does not assign a duration, credit total or qualification-framework level.
