The Great Estates: field trip 2021

The first year students on the BSc Real Estate went on a 2-day field trip to learn more about the Great Estates of London on 18 and 19 November 2021.  

This field trip is part of the Integrative Project which provides a background to the subjects that are taken in the first year. The module addresses the discipline-based and transferable skills that students will need during their time at university and beyond. These skills are explored and developed through a series of activities which involve viewing real estate from a range of perspectives. 

And now for the story of the field trip in photos by Elaine who also measured the field trip in steps (30,000). Click on the red links for more information.
