GES Field Trips
Field work is an important component of many of our undergraduate subjects in the School of Geography and Environmental Science and is also an important component of work for many students in the 4th year honours programme, should your studies extend that far.
Field work enables the concepts and techniques communicated in classroom and laboratory to be illustrated in a "real world" situation. Students will often learn much about sampling, questionnaire and experimental design through investigating particular geographical or environmental questions in the field. Effective field work also has due regard for safety and risk assessment procedures in the field, and guidance in these important areas will also be communicated.
Field work is a component of the following undergraduate subjects in the School of Geography and Environmental Science. Click those subjects that are highlighted for images of field work associated with that subject.
