Modules are assessed though written assignments, fieldwork folders, examinations, group projects and oral presentations. Return to Contents Fieldwork Field studies are a crucial component of Human Geography and field visits form part of many of the modules on the course. In addition, there are modules dedicated to fieldwork at each level. At level 1, there is a module on Local Fieldwork in which students undertake 3 field projects within the South East region of England. For the last 2 years we have been visiting Durham and Newcastle to study industrial restructuring and prior to that we went to Zwolle in the Netherlands.
Destinations are subject to change.
At level 3, we run a module called Culture and Development in Asia. This module revolves around a two week field visit to South India. This programme encourages the movement of students between Universities in Europe leading to cultural exchange and language development. Some of these options are only available to students with some ability in the relevant language. Others are open to all, subject to approval by the University.
