Study tour
"The environments not only allowed us to carry out the work we were required to do but they were also beautiful"
A week long field tour forms an integral part of the study programme. The purpose of the study tour is to refresh the skills, tools and techniques that are likely to be useful during the dissertation process.
In the past study tours have been to Northern Greece, Portugal, Israel and Morocco. Recently we have used the services of Discovery to facilitate the study tour to the Eagles Nest in the Cevennes National Park.
The current study tour program allows the group to look at:
- The environmental impacts of skiing
- Effects of treated sewage waste on river ecology
- Effects of mine run off on water ecology
- Endangered species conservation and reintroduction
- Globalisation and the water bottling industry
“a very friendly and effective atmosphere.”
Some free time is provided to visit Mende, go rafting and visit the Aven Armand caves. There is also usually a short pre-course tour during the introduction week.
Costs for both these trip are covered by the Additional Program Costs.
