To deepen your understanding of the theory covered in Module 1 (Human Geography) and Module 2 (Physical Geography), the relevant departments offer several one-day excursions to choose from—around two each semester.
Usually, two excursions within Germany are offered annually as part of Module 3. Both usually take place at the same time before or after the school holidays in spring or fall. These five-day field trips to destinations within Germany cover the topics of human geography, physical geography, and regional geography. The focus varies depending on the subject area.

Module 9 is rounded off by a field exercise abroad, which usually lasts ten days. These are offered annually on a needs-oriented basis by the departments of Physical Geography and Didactics, as well as by the departments involved in teaching Human Geography.
In Module 13, LAG students attend two one-day field exercises. These are offered in the winter and/or summer semester by the Physical Geography and Didactics department and are also posted on KIS.
