Field Work

 

For many students, fieldwork abroad is the best way of getting a sense of what it is like “on the ground”, of seeing how the methods learnt at the Faculty of Life Sciences are put into practice. 

 

Fieldwork is often part of BSc projects or theses.

 

Fieldwork is perhaps often associated with students who take a particular interest in development issues. Thus, all agricultural development students must spend time working in the field in a developing country in connection with their theses. This is part of the curriculum as development issues are best understood in the right context.

 

However, fieldwork in developing countries or in other countries is not only for students with an interest in traditional development issues. Working in the field is a wonderful opportunity for students to venture into the world to have a closer look at problems which may be quite similar to problems seen in Denmark, but which add an extra dimension to the issues being studied.

 

Your lecturer can probably provide some input if you would like to do fieldwork in a developing country or any other country – Alternatively, you are welcome to contact Student Services or Secretariet for Internationalisation.
