For institutions
Business schools, executive education, schools and universities. We design and run the part of your programme that happens outside the room, around your learning objectives.
Built around a serious subject, led by your faculty, and run end to end by us.
Business schools & executive education → Schools & universitiesDomestic field programmes, international study trips and university field courses, rather than sightseeing.

Singapore
School tripMuseums, heritage walks and Singapore's planned city, balanced with Sentosa and plenty of fun, from a comfortable resort base. Students saw how a small island built itself, and still had the trip they'd been looking forward to.
From brief to programme
An example executive-education brief, and a real school trip we'd redesign.
Their brief
“Our senior cohort does an international immersion every year. We want it to be about something, not a tour of company lobbies.”
Our take
Give the trip one question: how are Asia's most ambitious cities planning for density, ageing and technology? Three cities, three answers. Singapore plans for everything, Seoul builds digital-first, and Tokyo is living the ageing future first. The cohort compares them as it goes, and every visit earns its place by answering the question.
The programme
The usual version
The trip is already called Asian culture and modernity. Most of the six days are spent at attractions.
Our take
Keep the fun: the towers, the cable cars and a theme-park afternoon all stay. Then give the six days the question the trip's own title asks: how did a young, multicultural country build a modern economy in two generations? Every stop answers a piece of it, and the media project becomes the students' answer.
The programme
Signature programmes
Designed by us, shaped around your cohort, your year group and your learning objectives.
How three Asian cities are approaching technology, density, mobility, ageing and urban life.
Science, peace, art and engineering, followed across three countries. The Eiffel Tower, the Alps and Disneyland stay; now they all mean something.
How growth, capital, infrastructure and cities are reshaping three very different African economies.
Follow one meal backwards, and you see the whole economy.
How we work
What should be different when everyone gets home? We start there, not with a destination.
The subject decides the place. Then comes the shape of the days: what happens when, and what's left unscheduled on purpose.
The people and places that make the trip worth taking: a founder, a factory floor, a city planner, a guide who knows the mountain. We find them and arrange the time.
One team from the first call to the last transfer, on the ground with you throughout.
Questions
Your faculty or teachers. We design the field component around your learning objectives and run everything around the sessions: the setting, the visits, the people participants meet and every logistic. The certificate, the curriculum and the teaching stay yours.
Yes. We start from what participants are studying and what they should understand by the end, then choose the places, visits and conversations that make that concrete. A field module can sit inside an existing executive or degree programme, or around a school's syllabus.
Yes, and it's often the best place to start. We keep the destinations and experiences that already work, including the fun ones students look forward to, then rebuild the days around the school's learning objectives: the right encounters, time to reflect, and a student project that brings the trip back into the classroom. It stays the trip students were excited about. It just teaches something now.
Yes. The subject decides the place, whether that is a few days in India or a programme across several countries. We handle flights, visas, accommodation, transfers, site visits and meetings, and plan the route so time goes on learning rather than long transfers.
We do. Our team plans and runs the programme end to end and is with the group on the ground, from arrival to departure, so your faculty or teachers can focus on the learning.
Duty of care is planned into every programme from the outset: a named lead with the group, vetted accommodation and transport, and clear emergency and escalation procedures. For school groups, supervision, medical needs and parent communication are agreed with the school during planning, and our safeguarding documentation is shared as part of programme planning and procurement.
Yes. We can register as a vendor, share company documents, and provide a detailed programme proposal with itemised costing in the format your institution needs. We're also happy to work with suppliers you already use.
For international programmes, ideally six months before the group travels, and longer for school trips that need parent consent and payment schedules. Domestic field programmes can often be put together in less time.
Share the group, the rough dates and what you want them to understand. We'll get back to you with questions and a first idea.
