Indicative Course Content
This four-year degree has a distinctive
focus upon the adventure education
experience, which it achieves through
three themes:
Theme One:
You will consider how the ‘individual’
makes sense of the adventure education
experience. Critical reflection on your
own personal experience is central to the
knowledge and understanding.
Theme Two:
You will consider how ‘groups’ perform
in the adventure environment through an
understanding of group dynamics and
teaching strategies. Consideration will be
given to aspects such as leadership,
facilitation, decision-making and
problem-solving.
Theme Three:
You will focus on your impact on the
adventure environment, considering
environmental philosophy, user conflict
and impact reduction.
