Second Year Survival Series – Part Two, Work Experience

 

By Imogen, 3rd year Geography undergraduate.

Hello, my name is Imogen and I am a third year geography student, currently writing my dissertation on the associations between rainfall and weather patterns in Cumbria. Alongside this I am studying carceral geography (it’s really interesting – google it) and more things about the weather and the climate (I can’t get enough). Career wise I am hoping to apply for various graduate schemes and achieve a graduate job after third year. I would also like to fit in a bit of travelling in somewhere, just to fill the typical geography student stereotype.

It was June when I started as the Liberal Arts and Natural Sciences intern. Already a student in this department I felt at ease very quickly and settled into my first task: collecting feedback from the other LAS students about the extracurricular programme that the department runs.
