- Thought I'd share the pros and cons of my UCL geography degree. I thoroughly enjoyed studying Geography and although it is not the most employable subject I would pick it again.

you honestly deserve wayyy more subscribers😫😫 absolutely loveee ur content
Thank you, know I appreciate your support 🥺
Glad you’re enjoying the content 💃🏾
Everything in this! Geography is the best social science! Thank you!! ❤️❤️
Honestly the best! ❤️
People and governments are not seeing the potential of geography. Luckily in Argentina and Latin America it is beginning to be valued more, in my case I am oriented to flood risk management (physical geography), geomarketing and soon to agriculture (the main economic activity in Argentina is related to the Agriculture). We have a lot to give and not that we only stay in descriptive (school geography) or critical geography (David Harvey for example). Therefore it is up to us to spread this great discipline!
Greetings colleague, I hope you can come to these sides to do a postgraduate!
That's great to hear the growing appreciation for the subject in Latin America. I haven't heard the term geomarketing before- going to look into that more! Geographers definitely have a lot to give- we've just got to get a bit better at promoting the range of skills we have on offer and positively disrupting a number of sectors.
Perhaps I will one day!
Your structured presentation of the video and explanations were so helpful, I'm hoping to take a geography degree when I get to uni in London. Thank you so much!!
I’m glad you found it useful! Good luck with studying it! 😊
Thank you so much for this video :)!
Yas its the queen again
😂❤️
Really interesting as a subject and how broad the topics are.
Honestly there’s so much room to design your own degree!
Nice video, very interesting and like how stand behind ur degree! U will be successful in life!😍
Thank you! It’s a great subject so I stand behind it always 😊
Thanks,it was helpful❤️
Spot on
Thank you..🙏🏿
For content, could you do a vid abt going to university in London and ur experience, as well as a vid about Russell Group unis or how to prepare for university in September x
Thank you for those ideas! Adding them to the list x
Are you glad you chose the subject? I’m considering studying it at uni but I’m worried about what to do with it afterwards
I believe its a strong subject but the fact that it doesn't link directly to a profession affects the employment prospects (although geographers are, on average, the most well paid of all the humanities). I think supplementing it with internships, society positions etc will really make for a strong entry into the world of work post university (got a video related to that coming out next week) as well as picking strong modules that develop in demand skills
Adama Kabba thanks for replying and I can’t wait for that video xx
Hi I’m from Hong Kong! I would like to ask whether you know any difference with UCL and Canada schools in studying geography… because I have had a hard time choosing between both…
Thank you!!!
Unfortunately I don’t really know much about the Canadian geography courses 🙃. I had a look when I was considering a year abroad and there were a lot of similarities! Depends on where your interest are and where you want to live! 🌸
Who does ur hair??? And if u do it how do u do it??? Its so pretty😍 n I wanna get it done
Thank you! I do my own hair but I just use CZcams tutorials to guide me usually. These are just braids done with water wave braiding hair because that’s all I had in my house during this here quarantine! ❤️
Big shout out to Lesbos !!
A trip for the ages !!
This comment may be kind of late, but how much maths and science is involved in a geography degree? I enjoyed geography at A-level but I didn't study any of the science A-level. I wonder if I would find the degree a bit too intense..
Depends, you can decide if you want to do more physical or human modules. You can pick your modules according to how technical you want to go. Check out the modules in off at the universities you’re considering going to. Usually quite a bit of detail ☺️
i’m in the same situation rn i wanna do a geog degree but i don’t like maths or science… soooo
10:23 probably "abstract data" haha
Can I reach out to you directly???I'm a Geography and Meteorology Student,and got some personal Questions...
Hi adama, did u find it hard to get onto the course ? :)
Hello, nope I had above the academic entry requirements and it was pretty easy to write a personal statement about my favourite subject 😊
Which is better Bsc or Ba Geography?
Well “better” is relative to what you want to do after university and where your interest are. I personally would say Bsc but I’m speaking from personal preference- I feel like having a Bsc opens more doors though. I was able to environmental engineering at masters level and now work in tech- in part I feel like because of my Bsc and the modules I took 😊
@@AdamaLorna what is environmental engineering about?
Does it enable a person to design devices and instruments used by geologists or Geographers?
I like the aspects of mapping, climate study etc.also population and others
But can both be combined ?
Bsc and Ba Geography be combined?
Sorry for the lengthy reply
@@AdamaLorna I'm thinking of doing computer science engineering before I go to Geography or is it not needed?
And what engineering opportunities are there in Geography ?
I’d say research environmental engineering as the course varies a lot between institutions. Based on what you said you’re interested in then physical geography is definitely going to align better than human but in most universities you can combine both Bsc and BA Modules.
I wish Geospatial Intelligence was a job civilians could get outside the Military.
Umm you can… it’s called GIS (Geographic Information Systems) analyst or Geographer. Or just tell ppl you know how to use ArcGIS
@@outsidewithquad8123 I'm currently starting out with AutoCAD.
To make maps?
Usually I'm already given a file of a region with elevation points, and I'm tasked to plot contour lines for a 2D map. Later next semester, I'll be doing 3D representations on a program called sketch-up. I plan to go into surveying/civil engineering in about a year from now, hopefully.
