Choice of Courses


We run two kinds of courses:

  • Centre-taught courses: Led by FSC staff with specialist knowledge and fieldwork expertise who, after prior negotiation of course content, take full responsibility for teaching the course. Your active involvement is strongly encouraged, whether in contributing to the teaching, supervising and assisting the students or in allocating students and staff to the most appropriate small working group.

  • Centre-assisted courses: Tuition is shared between FSC teaching staff and you. The programme is normally designed and led by you with a FSC member of staff assisting during the work in the field. You would normally teach the evening session, if required, yourself. All the facilities of the Centre are available to the group for the duration of the stay. This includes fieldwork equipment and Health and Safety advice. Groups choosing this option should have familiarity with the field study sites. Inspection visits are provided free.

The environment in which we work is unsurpassed for the range of field study opportunities available and programmes can be arranged which complement the work undertaken in the classroom and which meet the demands of the curriculum at all levels.

Length of Course

Courses vary from one to five full days. Longer stays are possible upon request.
