Course Description
The BA Outdoor Adventure Education programme is designed to provide an academically rigorous and vocationally relevant degree.
Principally, the programme is designed to integrate the practical and vocational skills necessary to work in the outdoor sector with strong academic understanding and appreciation of broader principles relating to fields of pedagogy, psychology, sociology, wellbeing and philosophy.
Whilst the programme provides an ideal foundation for work within the field of outdoor adventure, it has also proven highly suitable for a range of other employment roles that are emerging within health, education and physical activity more generally.
UWTSD Carmarthen is uniquely placed in terms of access to a range of world-class activity locations, such as: the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
These areas offer some of the best sea kayaking, coasteering, mountain biking and rock climbing in the world. We are also extremely well placed for hillwalking, caving, white-water kayaking and woodland based activities.
The programme has established its own discrete accommodation: Cynefin. This dedicated space offers fantastic opportunities to further develop the programme with enhanced access to resources, improved teaching spaces and on-site facilities that further promote the key objective of integrating theory and practice. The programme team aim to create an inclusive environment where all staff and learners feel safe, valued, respected and are able to fulfil their potential. The programme is structured to allow students to engage in seasonal work.
