New Online Short Courses

University Centre Sparsholt have developed a number of standalone online courses for those that share our passion for promoting sustainability in our everyday lives. These courses provide a flavour of the topics we study at UCS and can be accessed via em3.isvc.co.uk.

Level 4 Introduction to Sustainable Resource Management

This short course introduces the concepts of sustainability, the impact of excessive resource use on our planet and how land-based individuals and businesses can start to review their current position on sustainable resource management.

Level 4 Next Steps in Sustainable Resource Management using Nature Based Solutions

This course builds upon the introduction to sustainable resource management and looks in more detail at the natural resources such as air and water that land-based businesses and individuals utilise and the impact on ecosystems, bio-diversity and carbon sequestration.

Level 5 Putting Sustainable Resource Management into Practice

This course takes your knowledge and understanding further and explores how land-based businesses might start to implement sustainable resource management with a more detailed consideration of the underlying theories of change management and applying a more holistic approach to resource use.

Practical Short Courses

We also offer a huge variety of part-time short courses for adults including Introduction to Bat, Dormouse and Newt Ecology and Survey Techniques - 6-hour courses which can lead to commencing the fieldwork required to gain a relevant survey licence.
