Our students get to work alongside world-leading researchers in field sites in the Canberra region, around Australia and abroad in Vietnam and Fiji.

More than 40% of our courses include field-based activities, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to get out of the classroom and into the field. Some examples of courses with off-campus activities include:
