Field Trips

Field trips are an integral part of learning in the School of Life Sciences, giving students the opportunity to apply theory in real-world environments and gain hands-on experience beyond the classroom.

A range of field courses are offered across selected modules; however, it is important to note that field trips are not guaranteed and are subject to availability and module requirements.

Undergraduate field trips may include:

• Dale Fort, Pembrokeshire– an annual residential field trip for module LF265

• Bordeaux, France– an overseas field trip offered in alternate years for module LF312

• River laboratory (Wellesbourne Campus)– a local field visit in Term 1 for module BS354

Postgraduate taught field trips may include:

• Hook Norton Brewery, typically held in early November for moduleBS935

• Wellesbourne Campus to explore Warwick Agri-Tech, usually mid to late November for module HR901

• FarmEDday visit in early February, focusing on regenerative farming and sustainable land-use models for module HR922

Field trips vary each year depending on teaching requirements and external factors, but they remain a valued and enriching element of Life Sciences education at Warwick.
