The University in March 2009 introduced a Policy on the Management of Field Courses which was developed using expertise within the University and produced after consultation with academic colleagues. This was updated in November 2010. Please find below a link to the policy and to the related appendices which are available for download and use as Word documents. If you need any further information, please contact the Safety Office on 465165.
