Outdoor and Adventure Education

About this course

Outdoor and Adventure Education is a discipline that uses the natural environment as a classroom, exploring how activities such as rock climbing, kayaking, mountain walking, sailing, and rope courses can be used to promote learning, personal development, and wellbeing. It is grounded in theories of experiential learning and adventure therapy, asking how challenge, risk, and the experience of the natural world can support development in children, young people, and adults. It is both an educational philosophy and a set of practical skills, and studying it at university means engaging seriously with both dimensions. At the University of Chichester, this three-year full-time BSc (Hons) is a highly practical programme that develops your competence across a range of outdoor and adventure activities alongside the theoretical and educational frameworks needed to teach and lead in these contexts
