Approaches to Teaching and Learning:
The module is held in seminar form, possibly as an intensive course. The field work is part of the parallel studio work, which is why the module is closely linked to the corresponding studio work and is partly integrated into it.The module involves attending field trips in Ireland and/or potentially abroad (depending on the topic of the studio).
This is a 4/5 day field class to the selected city (varies by year). Further details will be provided in the seminars leading up to this field trip.
You will be responsible for organising your own travel and accommodation (and, where appropriate, VISA requirements).
