Outdoor Adventure and Environmental Studies

About this course

Outdoor adventure and environmental studies brings together two things that are deeply connected: the experience of being in the natural world and the scientific and social understanding of what that world is and why it matters. Adventure education uses physical challenge and the outdoors as a context for learning, personal development, and therapeutic benefit. Environmental studies asks how natural systems work, how human activity affects them, and what it means to care for places and communities that depend on healthy landscapes. At the University of Cumbria, this three-year full-time programme is taught from the Ambleside campus in the Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage site whose fells, valleys, and waters serve as an extended classroom. You will study the ecology and biodiversity of outdoor environments alongside the educational, societal, and therapeutic dimensions of outdoor
