The course enables students to develop an understanding of the functioning of natural and human systems, and to be aware that there are issues and problems affecting these on a variety of levels. Fieldwork is an important aspect of the course as it helps to develop both the individual and the group. All students will be expected to participate in 4 days of work in the field at a FSC centre which will be used to write up their course work.
