UCLan Outdoors Division

The Masters in Outdoor Practice is designed to enable those working in the broad professional environment of the outdoors to engage with postgraduate study. It is delivered by a team of practitioners, educationalists and researchers in the outdoors. The first year of the course involves taught modules which are delivered at weekends, with subsequent modules providing the opportunity to specialise in your own field of practice through research and/or innovation. A special feature of this innovative course is the flexibility to accommodate a diverse range of interests and promote learning through a portfolio of assessments that appropriately meet the needs of students. Thus, the ethos of the course is to enable students to follow their interests and design their own pathway through a master's programme.

During the Summer of 2016, Louis Sivori and Jake Ditcham scaled the 5895m peak of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. This was in aid of the charity Dig Deep, which provides fresh drinking water and sanitation to families in both Kenya and Tanzania. The trek took a total of 7 days in which they summited very early on day 6.    Upon completion Louis commented;   "It was the toughest challenge I’ve ever had to face in my life. The experience and benefits I will take from it are amazing” “It is a wonderful achievement and we both had the greatest time. I would fully recommend this to anyone and I would happily repeat the adventure again”!
