All students undertake field classes from the first year, with field trips to Holyrood Park (Edinburgh), Fife and Arran in years one and two. In the third and fourth year, there are various residential and day field classes. We deliver a series of specialised courses that will uniquely prepare you for a range of careers including environmental monitoring and management, geotechnical engineering and environmental hazards.
