What is Outdoor Education?

Outdoor education involves learning outdoors, challenge, personal growth, journeys in nature, reflection and adventure. It is widely recognised as having a therapeutic, educational, developmental, and social effect on participants and for fostering general wellbeing and a connection with the natural world.

Outdoor learning experiences are utilised within many sectors in Ireland, such as schools, social care organisations, community development, youth services and adventure tourism. Outdoor Education students at ATU gain an in depth understanding of the varied role of outdoor learning and develop experience in designing, running and facilitating educational programmes. Through fieldtrips, expeditions and lectures, students explore and examine Irish landscape, heritage and ecology and realise the potential of adventure tourism, green exercise and nature therapy. Graduates will be empowered to promote careful use and management of an increasingly threatened natural world and to educate others in wise use and sustainable practice.

These degrees offer a unique blend of academic learning and adventure sports training.

Students explore outdoor education’s therapeutic, developmental, and educational aspects, while also studying Ireland’s natural and cultural landscape, health, fitness, group facilitation, recreation management, teaching, and psychology.

Students have the option of degree in Outdoor Education or depending on specialist modules chosen, to receive a degree in Outdoor Education with Therapeutic Application or Geography and Outdoor Education. Students select their specialist modules during Semester 1 in year 1.

Each week includes adventure sports practicals in Mayo’s mountains and coastline, leading to National Governing Body Adventure Sports leadership qualifications.
