Study Tours

2025 sees new destinations along with returning favourites of our sought-after Study Tours, which are celebrated for their scholarly excellence, conviviality and small group size.

Study Tour fees include:

  • Expert guidance and tuition by our course leaders.
  • All relevant entry fees to museums, galleries and historic sites.
  • Travel by public transport or coach between sites (where relevant during tours with more than one main destination).
  • Many tours also include sessions in a classroom on site, or the provision of a pre-recorded lecture.
  • Extensive pre-course reading materials on the VLE.

Travel to and from the primary destination of the tour, and accommodation, are not included in the course fee; participants are free to make their own arrangements.

All Study Tours include a good deal of walking and require a reasonable degree of physical fitness and mobility.
