Field Studies Council - A Level Geography Skills and NEA at Margam Discovery Centre (Small Group Course)

This Field Studies Council small-group field course offers A Level Geography students practical preparation for their individual Non-Exam Assessment (NEA). Over five days based at Margam Discovery Centre (Margam Park, between Swansea and Cardiff) students prepare, plan and collect primary data across coastal, urban and parkland environments, and receive guided tuition on field methods, data collection and analysis.

The course combines on-site workshops and supervised field sessions (coastal work at Newton, urban work at Porthcawl and surveys within Margam Park), evening data analysis and statistical sessions, and dedicated NEA workshops covering question formulation, secondary research, risk assessment and methodology. Small-group and individual student days are designed for individual students, home-educated students or schools with small cohorts.

Full-board accommodation, in-course transport and expert tuition are included where residential options apply; under-18 participants from a single school must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
