Geology field studies.
Dorset
The Dorset coast has been a classic fieldwork destination for generations of geology students.
We can provide field courses for GCSE and A Level students from 2 to 4 days in duration.
The courses will include opportunities to practise a wide range of field skills and PAG's whilst exploring the exceptional coastline of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
