Field Studies
Choose a PGL Field Studies course at one of our outstanding locations and you will benefit from a balanced programme with the emphasis firmly on the hands-on approach.
Our 'hands-on' approach will ensure that your group gets the most from their course.
- Using real life 'touchable' examples enhances pupils' understanding.
- Your group will become familiar with key fieldwork equipment such as hand-held computers, data loggers and digital cameras.
- High quality evidence - your group will be able to record the work they do using multi-media and all work can be taken back to school in the form of a CD Rom and worksheets.
