The field trip destination changes every year depending on the professor, typically with a rotation of 3-4 years. The last few years the destinations were Estonia (2025), Berlin (2024) and Marseille (2023).

Since 2025 an exam has been implemented on the social and economic field trip, to make the grading more similar to the physical field trip.

* Group paper before the field trip: 20%
* Fieldwork + group presentation on the field: 10%
* Fieldnotes of half an excursion day: 10%
* Written open-book exam: 60%
''(Mark should be at least 8/20 for each part.)''
