Field Courses

Fieldwork is an essential component of a training in Geography. During the course of the academic year, field excursions in the Dublin region are held for Senior Freshman students.

A residential field course is taken in the Junior Sophister year as part of the compulsory module GG3025 Advanced Research Methods in Geography. Generally the residential field course is based overseas, in order to introduce students to new, unfamiliar and intellectually challenging environments.

Students who wish to be exempted from the field course requirement must first obtain permission from the Head of Department.

Fees for these courses are additional to normal College fees.
