Stepping beyond the walls of the university is a vital part of the postgraduate courses at the University of Westminster. Whether looking at the city of London through different lenses, or travelling further afield to sites and cultures related to their course, field trips form an important part of study.

Explorations illustrated here include the trip made by students from MA International Planning and Sustainable Development to Rabat, Morocco, where the neighbourhood of El Akkari was the site of an intensive joint workshop between them students from the International University of Rabat.

Closer to home, walking tours of London exposed hidden legacies and narratives, buried in the materiality, form and historical resonances of the slave trade, be it the commerce that drove business, the funding it provided to build certain edifices, or the geographic significance of London’s Docklands as the port of global trade, coordinating and handling the goods produced internationally.
