Fieldwork is a key element of this course, and trips are aligned with the specialist modules to develop applied skills and gain practical experience. Residential field trips take place in the UK and the European Alps. Typical day trip destinations include the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales, and cities such as Sheffield and Liverpool.

A unique feature of this course is the industry placement embedded into trimesters 2 and 3 of your second year. Although you will be responsible for securing your own placement, we will assign you a placement tutor to monitor your progress and assess your final report.

Placements can be with international, national or local organisations, working on a wide range of issues from tackling climate change and sustainability goals, to delivering transport solutions or river restoration management. Industry placements are an excellent way to enhance your CV, gain hands-on work experience and build industry connections ready for when you graduate.
