“The BA International is a four-year sandwich programme, which is just like the three-year geography programme but with a year of study abroad at a different university.
“Being able to compare geographical traditions between UC Berkeley and UCL in my year abroad was incredible; I returned to my final year at UCL with fresh eyes and new enthusiasm. I also used that year to conduct in-depth empirical research for my dissertation which is a really big part of the geography programme. It’s the first time you can really produce something based solely on your interests which is challenging but also refreshing and exciting.
“When I graduate I hope to work in sustainable agriculture and food systems research, perhaps a PhD. Geography is such an interdisciplinary and wide-ranging subject, I feel comfortable with processing and producing materials from sociology, philosophy, and psychology to natural sciences and statistics. I imagine that will be useful in whichever career I choose in the end.”
