All accommodation, travel and food are paid for in Tenerife. Students are expected to pay for their own airline tickets in advance to travel from the UK to Tenerife and then reclaim this cost from the department. The department will reimburse airfare costs up to a predetermined level based on the typical cost of standard class flights from a wide range of regional airports, bought well in advance of the date of travel. In 2017-18 flight costs were reimbursed up to a cost of £175.

This field trip will provide students with an understanding of the natural anthropogenic, developmental and sustainability challenges faced by the island of Tenerife. The module will provide students with first-hand experience of the process of gathering original data via qualitative methods, assessment techniques, and application of analytical tools. These skills are vital in order to become competent with assessing, understanding and dealing with environmental and geographical problems.
The module will provide a firm foundation for the third year dissertation or MEnv dissertations and teach students how to obtain and utilise information from primary and secondary sources. The course will enable the development of analytical, problem solving and team working skills, as well as allowing the application of related theoretical knowledge and developing social scientific presentation skills.
