Fieldwork classes

Many of the Science classes available have a field trip component. This gives students the opportunity to get away from the campus environment and put their skills into practice. The classes detailed here provide excellent "hands-on" projects which form part of your assessment. Each class is a serious academic class, but has extra fun from being able to experience science in a natural environment.

*The level indicated here will give students general advice about the background required for this science class. Introductory classes require no specific background. Intermediate classes will suit the majority of students who already have some fundamentals in that area, having completed a year or two of studies in that discipline. Advanced classes require a strong background and are recommended for students who have completed most of a major in that area or an associated area.
