Fieldwork

Durdle Door - we make extensive use of our unrivalled local environment

Fieldwork and site visits form an essential part of all our courses. We make extensive use of our unrivalled local environment, which includes the UNESCO Dorset and East Devon World Heritage Coast, the Isle of Wight and the New Forest.

All fieldwork that is part of a credit-rated unit, with the exception of research projects, is included in your course fees. Overseas fieldwork is not included in your fees, but we do provide travel bursaries each year to support you to gain such valuable experience. Fieldwork provides an opportunity for you to consolidate your learning through practical application.
