Adventure Facilitation and Education BA (Hons) - 1 Year Extension

This course is a one year extension for those wishing to gain an honours degree in adventure facilitation and education. Typically, students will have already gained a foundation degree in adventure education and wish to gain a full honours degree. However, students who have gained an alternative qualification at level two in a related subject are also encouraged to apply. This extension course offers those already working in the sector or who have the opportunity to work with groups in the adventure setting, an opportunity to acquire a range of academic insights and models that will enhance the delivery of practical aspects of adventure education.
