Why take your geography & environmental studies course abroad

Field work is at the heart of geography. A travel course lets students read landscapes, map change and study how people adapt to their environment, with time for data collection and field notes.

ARAMFO plans routes and field sites around your course, with local experts and university partners who can host sessions on climate, energy, land use and urban development.

What students can experience

Field sites for physical geography, geology and climate change
Visits to renewable energy and sustainability projects
Urban geography walks and planning briefings
Sessions with university geography and environment departments
Community visits on tourism, land use and adaptation
