Overview

The Outdoor Adventure Leadership (Hons) course from The University of Lancashire gives you everything you need to start a professional career. You'll take part in five residential trips in challenging locations in North Wales, the Lake District and Dartmoor. On these trips, you'll take part in activities such as kayaking, climbing, mountaineering and bushcraft. You’ll also stay in a wide range of accommodation - activity centres, bunkhouses, and wild camping.

Key facts

What makes our course unique, is its learning and delivery model. Each year you will attend five week-long residentials, equal to the contact time of a normal timetabled degree. This also gives you the flexibility to either live on-campus or anywhere in the UK. This gives you more time to gain industry experience or work on gaining further qualifications.

You’ll be taught by an expert team of industry and research-active staff, all with years of experience. Some of the course content can also be shaped to align with your interests or career plans.

By the time you graduate, you’ll have all the knowledge and experience you need to start a career in this growing employment area. Some of our past graduates now work in careers within the military, education, emergency services, the NHS, and postgraduate research.

Accreditation

This course is aligned with the Entry and General Management professional standards outlined by CIMSPA, the professional development body for the UK's sport and physical activity sector. This course is accredited by the IOL, the professional body for individuals who use the outdoors to make a difference for others.
