This is not compulsory but is strongly recommended. By day the various activities include hiking, canoeing, mountain biking, road biking, orienteering, golf or just quiet walking or reading. In the evenings students give presentations introducing the topic of their research projects. Arrangements will be made for any student not attending Firbush to give their presentation to the students and staff the following week in Edinburgh. Travel will be by mini bus.
Food is provided.
There is no cost for the trip. All aspects of the course will be taken into consideration in student assessment. This may include multiple choice. The project will hopefully have its share of success and triumph when something works but also there will inevitably be times of frustration. The projects are chosen from a list of available projects within and outwith the Department.
