All students study introductory modules in the use of information technology, covering word processing, database management and the use of spreadsheets. You also have the opportunity to spend part of your course studying abroad at one of the University's partner institutions in Europe, North America or Australia.
Teaching is by a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops and tutorials.
Residential fieldwork is currently undertaken in the Canary Islands during the second year of the course. The programme provides a firm grounding in practical and theoretical approaches.
