Field trips

Field trips promote the innovations of your organisation while giving students the opportunity to link their course learning and assignments to the real world.

Types of field trip experience

  • Existing site experience
    You have an existing tour at work that you believe will be relevant and engaging for students. 
  • Co-designed field trip experience
    You may wish to design a field trip experience for your site or organisation. Our Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) academics and WIL Team can work with you to co-design a field trip experience which links to the course curriculum and learning outcomes.
