Field School

A field school is a specialized educational program that allows students to gain hands-on experience in a particular field, often in real-world settings. Typically offered by universities or organizations, it combines classroom learning with practical work, such as archaeology digs, environmental research, or engineering projects. Participants learn technical skills, teamwork, and problem-solving while directly engaging with actual work environments. Field schools enhance understanding by applying theoretical knowledge in immersive, outdoor, or on-site contexts, preparing students for careers and advancing their expertise through experiential learning.
