* The cost of trips may be funded or part-funded by the University. In all cases, students would be expected to cover the costs of daily expenses such as food and drink and local transportation (e.g. bus fare). We would anticipate that this should be no more than approx. £25 per day with trips being no longer than 10 days in duration.
