This organises events, trips, and speakers. Recent events have included a guide to the city archives, a Christmas Dinner, and a trip to the new Scottish Parliament. The Burn is an elegant eighteenth-century mansion in the foothills of the Grampian mountains, about one hours' drive north of Dundee. Every year 4th year students are invited to go on a residential study trip to the Burn. The aim is to reflect upon the key historical themes and issues they have studied, and to relax and socialise with staff and other students.
Many lecturers offer field trips and social events as part of their courses.
1st MA student field trips have included a trip to the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, and in other years lecturers have held barbecues, and invited their students to pub lunches.
