Gain an in-depth understanding of Alpine environments during our intensive week-long residential field course in south-west Switzerland. During the course, you will collect significant amounts of field data focussed on one of four interconnected study themes spanning glaciology, soils, ecology and hydrology. The experience provides an inspiring foundation into the science and understanding of how these globally sensitive ecosystems are responding to change.

If you opt to take Study Abroad year, modules and field courses available for year 2 will be chosen from your host university. The fieldwork options available are subject to pre-requisites.
