Geography Related Work Experience?

Hello!
I am a Year 12 student who is aiming to study Geography at university, and I was wondering what sort of work experience you can get for Geography. Does anyone have suggestions or tips?
Thank you!
Struggled with this when I was in Year 12 too. Online work experience worked best for me, I went to Springpod and did a course with the Met Office as well as a course on Futurelearn. It's not an easy one for experience tho! Just go to as many uni webinars and online events as you can

Hi @nnads,
I would recommend looking at organizations like the national trust, the forestry commission, local river trusts, water companies. There's quite a wide range of opportunities available dependent on which parts of geography your most interested in.
The BGS has some more information on work experience opportunities Work experience - British Geological Survey (bgs.ac.uk)
Hope this helps!
