Tours, trips and visits are seen as an integral part of the department’s work and provide opportunities for students in all years to broaden their experiences. Regular trips have taken students to international sports events at Lords and Twickenham, educational visits to Marjons University in Plymouth and the NTSport Week during activities week each year.
