This is an active degree that uses traditional outdoor activities such as climbing, kayaking, hillwalking, sailing, forest schools and coasteering as fieldwork experiences upon which to base your learning. It explores how people learn about themselves by working in natural environments. You will discover how to bring out the best in others, helping them to deal with physical and emotional challenges, how to build co-operative teams and provide appropriate levels of support. You will develop skills in team working, creative problem solving, effective communication, client awareness, self-management and resilience, as well as developing your technical outdoor activity skills. This group becomes particularly close-knit and supportive, as a collection of like-minded enthusiasts.

Marlies - Third year, Outdoor Adventure Education; “The first year of the course was very active as we learnt all the basics in kayaking, canoeing, climbing and navigation, as well as how to research and think academically. In the second year our basic skills became more advanced through traditional climbing, sea kayaking and mountain biking. In the third year, we got to choose an area to specialise in and we will do a placement in an organisation of our choice or learn more about how to run our own business.” 1st Year Introduction to experiential outdoor education Land based adventure sport Expeditions: theory & practice Professional & personal development Foundations of coaching & instructing Applied physiology & psychology for outdoor adventure 2nd Year Place based outdoor education Environmental awareness through adventure sport Managing expeditions on the water Leadership in the mountains Research methods in education Forest School & outdoor learning Placement learning 3rd Year Honours project Current issues in outdoor practice Advanced outdoor practice Placement learning Entrepreneurship & small business management Creative practice for outdoor learning
