From creating long-lasting friendships and being taught by the world\u2019s first-class lecturers in a variety of subjects, I&#8217;ve developed essential life skills which I can use further in the employment sector. You have taken the first, big step by choosing to study at the University of York and specifically Environment; in which I will give you 4 things to look forward to when choosing to study with us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seeing parts of the world you never thought you would see!\ud83c\udf0d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"327\" height=\"218\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/picture191.png?resize=327%2C218\" alt=\"See lizards on your field trips.\" class=\"wp-image-6521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/picture191.png?w=327&amp;ssl=1 327w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/picture191.png?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The subject is simply unique in the way field trips are incorporated in your degree. Expect early morning hikes and magnificent views even if this isn\u2019t your cup of tea; the sights will leave you speechless. In the first year, you have the chance to explore Yorkshire. We did a 3- day residential trip to the North Yorkshire Moors passing Whitby and Scarborough. Despite not being fit at all I loved being surrounded by coach banter and being a tourist in a new town \ud83d\ude0a. We worked on a range of different projects which led to report writing &#8211; an essential start to your environmental career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"334\" height=\"222\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/picture237.png?resize=334%2C222\" alt=\"Sunscreen required for Tenerife field trip.\" class=\"wp-image-6522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/picture237.png?w=334&amp;ssl=1 334w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/picture237.png?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/picture3.png?resize=338%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Long, hard days in Tenerife.\" class=\"wp-image-6523\" width=\"338\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/picture3.png?w=338&amp;ssl=1 338w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/picture3.png?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the big one\u2026<strong>TENERIFE! <\/strong>In second year, the whole year group (yes, the whole year) take a week-long trip to the Canary Islands. As well as soaking up the hot sun, you will enjoy the tranquil views of Corona Forestal, the momentous Mt. Teide, Arena Negras and all-inclusive food \ud83d\ude0b. Be prepared for long, hard days but bring your camera, hiking boots and rucksacks for some unforgettable snaps! \ud83d\udcf8 During this time, you will dedicate two days to work in groups and create your own project. You will present your findings to your classmates developing your presentational skills. Depending on what area you study, there may be further field trip options later in your course. \u2708\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Marvel team of academics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will be taught by the finest academics such as microbe loving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/environment\/our-staff\/hughesc\/\">Dr Claire Hughes<\/a> who undergoes research in the minuscule parts of the oceans. By being taught by these amazing people you will occasionally learn about their research and read papers published by them! The staff are so friendly. So, don\u2019t be nervous putting your hand up in class or talking to them regarding study work or not; they are always on hand. Sit back, relax and enjoy the mesmerising images of marine life \ud83d\udc1f or wildlife in Africa to remote locations such as Antarctica \ud83d\udea2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breaking Bad chemical style\u2026 (not literally) \ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udd2c<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"223\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/picture5.png?resize=223%2C384\" alt=\"Lab technicians are very helpful.\" class=\"wp-image-6524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/picture5.png?w=223&amp;ssl=1 223w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/picture5.png?resize=174%2C300&amp;ssl=1 174w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part of being in the Environment gives you access to modern-day facilities and high-quality technology. Working in the labs initially can be quite daunting.  However, our very own chirpy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/environment\/our-staff\/debs-sharpe\/\">Deb Sharpe<\/a> (lab technician) will guide you in the best and safest way possible. You always receive clear and concise instructions on whatever you do. If you are unsure there are plenty of demonstrators about you can seek help from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/picture4.png?resize=250%2C334\" alt=\"Cool Environment adventures and projects.\" class=\"wp-image-6525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/picture4.png?w=250&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/picture4.png?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout your years at York, you will work more confidently in becoming more independent in the lab. You&#8217;ll use intricate equipment for cool projects such as knowing what lurks in one of Europe\u2019s largest plastic-bottomed lakes located right in the heart of our campus! \ud83c\udf0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Networking with other green go-getters \ud83c\udf3f<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/picture6-e1581336921632.png?resize=304%2C460\" alt=\"Hear from speakers from across the environment sector.\" width=\"304\" height=\"460\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every term is filled with exceptional speakers delivering weekly talks regarding emerging topics and what research and work they carry out with their organisation they work in. This is a great way to investigate what employers are looking for in applicants and how to go about it. The seminars take place in a relaxed environment which is open to anyone (course and year) so make the most of these opportunities! If you can\u2019t make it to the seminars no worries. Environment constantly advertises conferences.  For example, I attended the first British Ecological Society Conference which occurred in York! This was a great chance to see what other ecologists do first-hand. I got to know more about the conservation sector, which is an area I would like to pursue when I graduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, to summarise! I could talk all day about course I have chosen to study. In fact, being a course rep offers me the chance to do so \ud83d\ude1b All I can say is choosing to study at York was simply the best life decision I have made. I am so thankful to be part of a community where I have made everlasting memories. Environment is like my second family. Want to be part of something like this too?<\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming up to the end of my degree and reflecting on the past three years with Environment and Geography has been a whirlwind of surprises.
