Tasnim is a second year student studying BSc Geography.
If you are thinking about joining the school of Geography, then make your personal statement stand out by mentioning extracurricular activities that you have participated in related to Geography. This could be fieldwork you have taken part in during 6th form and optional lectures you have been to.
I decided to study at QMUL because I liked the university campus; when I visited and the staff I met during the open day was friendly and easy to talk to. Also, after the interview, I was offered an unconditional offer, so this attracted me to the university even more.
I study Geography Bsc, so the course is heavily related to physical geography and the modules available to take during the second and third year are interesting. Such as the Past environmental change and Environmental research modules.
I enjoy the fieldwork opportunities that occur within my course.
Studying Geography BSc has improved my essay writing skills and my lab report skills. This will help me get a job in the future.
I like to spend my time outside of studying, primarily relaxing. This is in the forms of watching Tv shows, reading novels, taking around 10k steps a day, buying and looking after plants, shopping, having boba or frappucinos and talking to my local stray cat.
I am probably going to do a masters degree in GIS.
I would advice students that are moving to London/ studying in London to explore the area and do fun stuff on the weekends.
