Links to exams and university entry 

Apart from the obvious value of going on an expedition, such as contributing to conservation, the challenge and a sense of adventure, the experience can also benefit a student by increasing their chance of gaining entry to university or applying for a job after school in four main ways:

1.    Enhancing understanding of biology, environmental science or geography syllabuses

2.      Completing course work essays or field investigation components

3.      Gaining additional research-related qualifications

4.      Enhancing your university application and interview 

For examples of how syllabuses, course work requirements and additional research related qualifications can be mapped against an Opwall expedition please see the links to the left, categorised by country.  There are many other opportunities in addition to those described in different US, Canadian and Australian states. Advice on how particular exam syllabuses, course work requirements or additional external qualifications can be linked to different expeditions in other North American, European or Australasian systems can be obtained by contacting your nearest Opwall office.
