"Fieldwork"

Fieldwork is completed with an organisation or in an environment outside the University. The focus is on linking what is learnt in class with what is seen, collected and tested in the field. The specific aims of fieldwork may vary, but they usually include one or more of the following:
observing principles learnt in class as they appear in the field
applying what has been learnt in class to real situations
collecting information such as samples which can be used in class
Fieldwork assignments are generally associated with Natural and Built Environmental Sciences and related disciplines.
