Designed to maximise opportunities for you to develop practical skills and experience, our courses offer field trips, lab work and classroom learning. Recent field trip destinations include Sicily, Cyprus, France, Spain and Pembrokeshire as well as local trips in Brighton and Sussex.

Choose from courses created with an emphasis on employability, designed so knowledge and skills gained in the field, in the lab and in the classroom can be applied in the workplace. The optional placement year provides industry experience and the opportunity to build a network of contacts.
