The Outdoors

Our industry-leading outdoor and adventure sports programmes encourage students to develop their prowess in a range of activities whilst promoting an ethos of selfdevelopment, reflection and critical analysis.

Most programmes offer students monthly week-long residential programmes at our Outdoor Centre in Llangollen, offering easy access to mountain areas, cave systems and rivers, along with the National White Water Centre at Canolfan Tryweryn. Close to the Preston campus, there is a regional climbing centre and pools for canoeing and kayaking. Opportunities for training and assessment in National Governing Body awards are available.

These courses may involve regular access to children and/or vulnerable adults, also known as regulated activity. Where this is the case, students will be legally required to register with the Vetting and Barring Scheme (VBS) which is administered by the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA). Following successful registration individuals will be issued with an ISA registration number which will stay with that person for the rest of their career. The University will send further instructions on registering with the VBS.
