Field Trips
Trips with the School of Social Sciences
We want to show our students the big picture.
One of our main goals within the School of Social Sciences is to show you social sciences in practice in the real world. We want you to graduate with as much practical experience and knowledge as possible. One way we assure that this happens is by regularly organising trips in Birmingham and beyond.

UK Trips
During your undergraduate course, you'll be offered the opportunity to go on several trips to help you see the skills and knowledge you're studying in action.
The School of Social Sciences have a long history of providing trips to a variety of locations in the UK and Ireland. These range from sociology walking tours that allow our students to take in a whole city, to visits to prisons which allow our criminology students to see all sides of the criminal justice system.
Below, you'll see a map of just some of the places our students have visited recently.
International Trips
Alongside our UK trips, the Faculty of Business, Law and Social Sciences also provides trips all around the world. These can either be subject based visits to overseas businesses or projects, or faculty-wide trips to partner institutions in Europe and Asia.
This is just another example of how Birmingham City University is committed to making your experience with us an international one, reflecting the ever-growing influence of globalisation on business, law and social sciences. These trips supplement international focuses modules embedded in all of our degrees.
