Course content

The MA Outdoor Education programme has been developed to meet the needs of practitioners and graduates working in the broad area of outdoor learning in the UK and further afield. It brings together theory and practice to develop a higher level understanding of outdoor education as a distinctively alternative form of learning.

The course is unique in the UK in adopting a sociocultural approach to better understand a range of key issues including the importance of outdoor places to learning, health & well-being in nature and the impact of (digital) technology on outdoor learning. These are examined within the broader national and international policies and approaches of nations to understand how outdoor practices reflect/challenge social changes.
