Field trips
Fieldwork forms an integral part of the Cambridge Geography experience.
Residential fieldtrips
Every second year student attends a residential field trip. These are seen as an essential building block for undergraduate final year dissertation research, both in terms of inspiring students in their choice of topics, and in teaching specific field research skills.
Field class teaching objectives and focus are diverse, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the subject, reaching from the physical sciences through the biological sciences to the social sciences and humanities. The fieldtrips aim to provide you with skills for collecting data using appropriate techniques, in a safe manner, while considering the impact of investigations on the environment and stakeholders.
Recent destinations have included the Algarve, Arolla in the Swiss Alps, Dublin, Berlin, Mallorca, Morocco, Crete and Tenerife.
The cost of residential field trips is heavily subsidised by the University.
Different trips run in different years.
