INDICATIVE CONTENT

This module enables students to participate in a field course where the knowledge that they have gained on the course can be applied to an actual active investigation. Practical work in field survey, geophysics, excavation and recording will be undertaken, enabling students to further investigate and develop the practical applications of the methods explored in other parts of the course. They will also gain an understanding of the practical, ethical and legal issues encountered within field work investigation.

Additionally, students will be expected to develop and demonstrate competency in generic skills such as team working, communication and time management via their participation within the field investigation. The nature of the practical work undertaken, and the skills and techniques explored will vary dependent upon the site chosen for the field course.
